Tasting
How it drinks
Sight
Deep ruby-amber with wine-influenced reddish hue; the Pinot Noir cask finish adds distinctive blush colour
Nose
Vegetal and herbaceous with grilled bacon opening. Red wine, dark berries, peat smoke intertwined. The youngest Longrow Red release highlights raw Longrow peat character softened by French Pinot Noir
Palate
Round and oily — smoked ham, raspberry jam, light peat smoke envelope. Red wine sweetness balances the heavy peat. Dark cherry, mineral slate, sea salt. A younger, more vibrant Red than previous releases
Finish
Medium-long finish with lingering wine sweetness, peat smoke and raspberry. The wine and peat dance together through the finish. One of the final Longrow Red releases before the series transitions to Longrow 100 Proof
