Longrow 1987 Samaroli The Last Bottling

This is one of a number of Longrow single casks released by Samaroli.

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 is the last of many of many 1987 vintages that he bottled with the classic distillery drawing label.

This particular bottling was matured in cask #116 before bottling in 2007. The bottle is the standard black glass used by Silvano since 2000, and features the contentious "refined inside the bottle since..." text, that the Scotch Whisky Association abhorred, but Silvano fully believed in.

One of 298 bottles.
