Really surprised by this whisky. Longrow is pitched as the peaty oily cousin of the springbank family and up against the Springbank Burgundy, 18, Green and Halzelburn 12 amongst others I tasted on the night it didnt really shine. Very light and subtle. I still did like it but def wouldn't buy a bottle especially for the price. I see from other reviews on line some people have also had the same experience i.e. a completely different flavour profile and style from what is promoted. There seems to be large batch variance year to year
