Bold peat smoke dominates with medicinal iodine, campfire ash, and tarry ropes, characteristic of Longrow's double-distilled, heavily peated style. Underneath the smoke lie sweet malt, lemon oil, vanilla, and a distinct coastal salinity that anchors the aromatic intensity.
Robust and muscular with intense peat smoke, bonfire embers, and earthy mineral notes balanced by sweet barley sugar and citrus peel. The oily mouthfeel carries flavors of smoked bacon, black pepper, and dried seaweed, while maintaining Springbank's signature maritime character.
Long, powerful finish dominated by lingering peat smoke, ash, sea salt, and a warming, slightly medicinal quality that slowly fades to reveal sweet malt.

A few drops cut through cask-strength alcohol and release esters. Start with one drop and taste as you go.
Fine for lighter, fruitier expressions. Cold can mute the complexity in heavily peated or well-aged malts.
