Longrow 2018 Release Red Cabernet Franc Matured Campbeltown Single Malt Scotch 11 year old 55.9% ABV Nose: Initial wave of peat lingers, a smoky foundation that remains at the fore. As it breathes, red wine notes emerge alongside marzipan sweetness, caramel toffee, raspberry jam and a playful hint of Eton mess, weaving into a rich, dessert-like aroma. Palate: Peat lingers on the palate, mingling with caramelised sugar and toffee apples. Red-wine notes deliver stewed rhubarb and crisp red apples, while a buttery biscuit sweetness threads through, finishing with toasted vanilla and a gentle smoky glow. Finish: Long, sooty, and smoky, the finish glows with burnt embers that linger. Dry oak vanilla tannins frame the finale, while subtle phenolic antiseptic notes recede, leaving a crisp, lingering smoky echo.
