So no one seems to be doing yearly reviews on this one, and while I KNOW they change, I don't know how much they do so lets just add this. 2020 edition. Nose - I just a few days ago went back to a 2014 longrow 18 and my first thought was "sulfer". 2020 might have some but it's not nearly as heavy. Instead I get a bubble gum level of fruits, a firm and very nicely stated oak, and red fruits that turn into springbank funk. A really nicely balanced and sweet play on the longrow and springbank funk with a balance of aged oak and what seem like quality refilled sherry casks. Slight copper metallic note at the end which actually is very nice here. I'm not getting a lot of salt or peat at first but there's a light underlying note of all that once I go back. A very balanced longrow 18 in a very nice way. Taste - light toasted oak, classic springbank funk, sherry casks, then fades into salt and brine then toasted oak again with a hint of that springbank barbecue I haven't said about many bottles lately. Really balanced through a never ending mix of wonderful flavors. What really sets this one off is a long and lingering finish. Really making me a happy camper. 108 UK price, but as we know this will be 200 in the states once we see it, if not more with tariffs. I really like this one though could use some more mouth feel as I feel with all longrow 18's. I've scored the other longrow 18's a 3.75 and I think that's a fair score for this one too. That said I do think this is more approachable than most.
