Longrow 1974 25 Year Old

From Japanese Sci-Fi ladies to the picturesque Mull of Kintyre, this understated beauty is the Longrow 1974 25 Year Old.  The first distillation of Longrow was carried out in 1973 as an experiment, when the Chairman of Springbank Distillery set out to prove that it was possible to produce an Islay style single malt whisky on the mainland, and boy are we glad he did.  With its pungent punch and muscular finish Longrow has long been a favourite dram of us whisky nerds here at SWA, and this one is as good as they come!   Distilled just after production began in earnest and aged for a whopping 25 years this a very special dram indeed.As always, we have a wide range of drams with something to suit everyone, so now is the time to get moving picking out your own personal favourites for your watchlist. Best of luck to everyone in the auction, and as always………..don’t lose your bottle.
