Longrow Red
The Longrow Red, always bottled at cask strength, is released annually in small quantities
and every year a different type of red wine cask is used to mature the whisky.
Springbank distillery is one of the last surviving producers of Campbeltown Single Malts.
The distillery, located on the southern Kintyre peninsula, produces three distinct types of single malt Scotch whisky.
Springbank Single Malt Its standard bottling is a 10-year-old, distilled two and a half times,
and is not chill-filtered, nor does it have colour added. Distilling whisky two and a half times is quite unusual, as
it means that during the distillation process some of the low wines are collected before the second distillation, and
then mixed back into the feints for another distillation. This means that some parts of the spirit have been through
distillation twice and some parts three times. The spirit is then aged in ex-bourbon and ex-sherry casks, although Springbank
is experimenting with rum casks as well.
Longrow Single Malt is a highly peaty whisky.
Hazelburn Single Malt the newest variety, was first distilled in 1997 and since bottled as an 10-year-old.Hazelburn is a triple
distilled, non-peated whisky, named for another now-defunct Campbeltown distillery.
Springbank is one of only two distilleries in Scotland to perform every step in the whisky making process,
from malting the barley to bottling the spirit, on same premises: the other is Kilchoman Distillery who also grow their own barley.
While a few others still maintain the first step in the process, the malting of barley (which is becoming more rare)
