Longrow 1987 Samaroli Single Cask #115

First distilled in 1973, Longrow is the peated single malt produced at Springbank distillery. Although very popular, Longrow remains an elusive whisky, with only 100-150 casks of it filled at the distillery each year. Early champions of this spirit included the legendary Italian bottler, Silvano Samaroli, who bought and bottled a number of famous casks from the inaugural vintage, and is credited by many with a good deal of the brand's success. It remains revered by connoisseurs to this day.

This is one of a number of Longrow expressions released by Samaroli, many of which were single casks.

Silvano Samaroli was an early champion of the peated single malt from Springbank distillery, and its surging popularity since his earliest bottlings in the mid-1980s is viewed as testament to his visionary outlook on the whisky trade.

This was distilled in 1987, a vintage Samaroli bought numerous casks from. This release was drawn from #115 in 2002.

One of 312 bottles.
