Preiss Imports Jan/Feb 2010 Single Malt Newsletter – Scotch Whisky News
In this issue, I am highlighting a product from the Lonach label (Duncan Taylor) that is simply outstanding, and I think you all should know it’s available. I put the Longrow CV in the spotlight section. If you like peaty whisky and haven’t tried this one, you’re in for a treat.
Cheers,

What A Deal, You Say
Strathisla? 1967? For $199 or less ?!? Can’t be!
From our good friends at Duncan Taylor & Co. we are able to offer a great value whisky – Lonach Strathisla 1967 42 Year Old. The Lonach label was created to showcase those rare and old whiskies that were too low in alcohol volume to be bottled as a single cask, so instead many barrels were married together to provide a deliciously old dram at a great price!
Tasting Notes:
Color: Pale Straw Hue
Nose: Dried bark and cinnamon, with developing fruitiness and buttered crumpets, and evolves into treacle sponge. Also present are vanilla pods, dried spices and mahogany tables.
Palate: Quite creamy notes of authentic vanilla ice cream and jelly sweets.
Finish: Hard toffee, a touch of shortbread and a little dried fruit.
41.1%ABV
Single Malt Spotlight – Longrow CV
The brilliant minds at Springbank Distillers longed to make an uber-balanced Longrow Single Malt…they wanted all of that peat and smoke, while maintaining a superior balance of complexity and maturity. After months of experimenting, Longrow CV was released as a combination of 6, 10, and 14 year old Longrow Single Malt.
CV stands for Curriculum Vitae (meaning Resume) which describes the variety of ages contained in the expression.
