We are pleased to announce two new distillery releases that will be available in the UK from today – release dates for other countries/markets will vary. Details of these special, limited releases are below:
Longrow 14yo Sherrywood 57.8%
This Longrow release was matured in refill Oloroso Sherry casks and bottled at 57.8% ABV.
Nose: Very fruity! Toffee apples, pears and strawberry chocolates in the background; salted popcorn kernels, mint leaves and honey.
Taste: Salty and coastal, the fruitiness continues with raisins, chocolate orange and prunes. A dryness develops with demerara sugar and digestive biscuit.
Finish: Drying BBQ spices; cayenne pepper and paprika followed by cinnamon sugar, oats, pecan nuts and the typical gentle Longrow smokiness.
- The Campbeltown Cadenhead shop will be selling the Longrow 14yo Sherrywood for £55.00

Nose: A fruity and nutty combination; cherries, apricot jam, pistachios and toasted oats. Salted caramel and marzipan begin to emerge.
Taste: Sweet and delicious, Scottish tablet, prunes and honey. The classic Campbeltown style develops; sea salt and a light smoke coat the mouth.

Please note that the Campbeltown shop will only be taking orders via phone and will not be reserving any bottles should you call before 10am (BST) tomorrow – Tuesday 14th August 2018.
These whiskies are available in the UK from tomorrow – for more information on when they will be released in different countries/markets please contact your local Springbank retailers and stockists, details of whom can be found by visiting: http://springbank.scot/distributors/.
This email is designed to replace the old ‘Available Now’ newsflash that was traditionally sent out on the launch day as a number of members have requested that we let you all know sooner. As such, notifications on the launch day itself will only be made on social media. We do urge members not to publish the details of this newsflash on social media before we announce it ourselves through our own social media channels. This will hopefully let you all get first chance to buy these bottles although we would highlight that we do not control how shops sell their stock. Even the Cadenhead shops are out-with our control so if you have any enquiries about what stock individual shops have please contact them directly.
