Longrow Red 11 Year Old Tawny Port Cask 115 Proof

Longrow Red is a limited annual release bottled at cask strength. Each year a different type of red wine cask is used to mature the whisky, with the latest release spending seven years in Bourbon casks followed by four years in Tawny Port casks.

Tasting notes:

Nose – Notes of redcurrants, blackberries and red cola, along with a damp, musty element, provide an inviting introduction to this dram.

Palate – The sweet, fruity influence comes through in notes of red fruits, honey glaze and brandy baskets nicely balanced with smoky notes of barbecued meats.

Finish – The peat builds in the finish and a salty, nutty note develops. Notes of rhubarb custard and roasted almonds round off this dram.
