I never revisited this bottle after buying it four years ago as there was a discordant metallic note on the finish when I tasted it initially. Since then I’ve given most of it away in swaps but decided to try it again while pouring a sample for @jonwilkinson7309. I’m glad I did as that off note is no longer there, perhaps thanks to some beneficial oxidation or just the fact that I was having an off day when I first tried it. What’s left is a classic Longrow with a heather and peat nose and a palate that nicely balances a light peat and a dash of sweetness. Longrow will never be my favorite peated whisky, but this one is a good benchmark for anyone exploring the brand’s range.
