Nose: A combination of malty notes, barley husks and smoked peanut skins with burnt toast, smoked raspberries and blackcurrant. There’s a hint of antiseptic as well, accompanied by burlap and just a tinge of cordite.
Taste: Charred meat, a hint of spent matches and cherry liqueur, as well as cured meats and black pepper. Touches of redcurrants and fresh rubber, as well as streaky bacon, wood smoke and smoke paprika powder.
Finish: Medium to long. More pepper, decent salinity and definitely more rubber
The Longrow 100 Proof 2025 Edition is a powerful, peaty single malt whisky from the renowned Springbank distillery in Campbeltown. With an alcohol content of 57.1%, this limited-edition whisky impresses with its intense aromatic diversity.
Nose: Smoke and peat typical of the distillery, very balsamic, with notes of camphor and medicinal herbs, damp earth and leather.
Taste: Licorice, full-bodied, powerful, a little vegetal and tannic. Almost a little sweet, but a drop of water makes it immediately dry and reveals a fruitier character (orange and cherry) that complements the exuberant peat smoke and earthy notes.
Finish: Intense with notes of ash, soot and licorice. A note of eucalyptus.
Nose: Glenglassaugh Sandend reveals rich notes of ripe fruit, honey and vanilla, with a subtle hint of smoky wood. Mouth: On the palate, this single malt reveals complex flavors of tropical fruit, caramel and spice, with a smooth, velvety texture. Finish: The finish is long and warm, leaving lingering notes of oak, dried fruit and dark chocolate on the palate.
Nose: Strathisla Hart 10 Year Old CS reveals rich aromas of ripe fruit, vanilla and oak. Feel: On the palate, this single malt reveals notes of toffee, spice and dried fruit, with a touch of honey. Finish: The finish is long and warm, leaving lingering flavors of fruit and grain on the palate.
Nose: Through orange chocolate and crème brûlee comes perfume and spice — rose petals, lilac, and carnation, chased by cumin, saffron, and nutmeg. Add water, and delicate fruits and a fresh menthol breeze sneak out.
Palate: Ginger, black pepper, and mint are followed by toffee, demerara sugar, and sugar-coated almonds. Then comes that eucalyptus lift with marmalade and dark chocolate in the backdrop.
Finish: The finish lingers with clove, leather, and peppermint, leaving your tongue humming like it’s been on a spice-market bar crawl.
