Longrow 18 Year Old is a limited annual release from Springbank Distillery in Campbeltown, showcasing the heavily peated character of one of Scotland’s most distinctive single malt ranges. Produced using traditional methods at Springbank, Longrow is known for its rich smoke, robust spirit character and ability to develop remarkable complexity through extended maturation.
The 2024 Limited Edition has been matured for 18 years, allowing the heavily peated Longrow spirit to evolve alongside significant sherry cask influence. This release is composed of 90% ex-sherry cask matured whisky and 10% ex-Port cask matured whisky, creating a profile that combines deep dried fruit richness with the sweet influence of fortified wine maturation.
Bottled in 2024, this expression reflects Springbank’s commitment to small-batch production and traditional craftsmanship. Longrow remains unique within the Springbank portfolio, offering a more intensely peated style compared with Springbank’s lightly peated spirit and Hazelburn’s unpeated, triple-distilled character.
With its mature age statement, limited release status and high proportion of sherry cask maturation, Longrow 18 Year Old 2024 is a sought-after bottling for collectors and enthusiasts of complex, heavily peated Campbeltown whisky.

Longrow
Founded 1973
Longrow is not actually a standalone distillery but a heavily peated variant of single malt whisky produced by the Springbank Distillery in Campbeltown, Scotland. Established in 1973 as an experimental peated malt, Longrow was named after a now-defunct distillery that once stood adjacent to Springbank. It is double-distilled and peated to between 50 and 55 ppm, offering a robust, smoky flavor profile distinct from the lighter Springbank or unpeated Hazelburn whiskies made at the same distillery. Longrow's core expressions include the Longrow Peated, Longrow Red - which varies annually with different red wine cask finishes, and aged expressions like the Longrow 18 and 21 Year Old. This whisky embodies the traditional, hands-on approach of Springbank, with all aspects of production, from malting to bottling, done on-site.
