Longrow 15 Year Old Red Pinot Noir Cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky, 70cl, 51.4% ABV
Longrow 15 Year Old Red Pinot Noir Cask (2022 bottling) is a sought-after Longrow Red series release from Springbank’s cult Campbeltown stable, combining lightly peated Longrow spirit with a clearly defined wine-cask maturation. Aged for 15 years via a dual process—11 years in ex-bourbon barrels followed by 4 years in fresh Pinot Noir barriques—it’s built around red-fruit richness layered over Longrow’s trademark coastal, gently smoky backbone. Bottled at 51.4% ABV with a stated outturn of 9,400 bottles, it’s a modern collectible that still very much rewards opening.

Why This Bottle Is Worth Bidding On
- Longrow Red releases are consistently high-demand, and the Pinot Noir barrique finish is one of the most popular styles in the series.
- The long secondary maturation (4 years in fresh Pinot Noir barriques) should deliver genuine wine-driven depth rather than a light “finish.”
- Strong specs for drinkers and collectors alike: 15-year age statement, 51.4% ABV, and a declared outturn.
