My favorite Longrow to date!  This one has some really nice sherry components along with the clasic Springbank falvors matched with that light peatiness that Longrow does.  I think the light peat added to the Springbank clasic has been well integrated with the Sherry and bourbon vatting.  The Sherry adds some of the missing fruitiness that I love in other malts.

 The smoke and caramel is there along with a nice cinnamon background and the peaty palate but then add the raisins and the cherries and the darker/deeper woody notes and it makes for a nice combo malt.  If this was aged for another say....10 years, I think it will make it into the A-/A category....until then it will reside as a B+.

This nose is very farm yardy.  Lots of dry hay and grass.  But theres a fair bit of peat smoke and lighter notes of pineapple.  Its light and resfreshing on taste with fruits and sherry.  It ends with a bit of mustiness that I didnt care for.
