Released by Campbeltown distillers, J & A Mitchell in February 2020, this latest Longrow Red release has been matured for 10 years in a combination of bourbon and sherry casks before being transferred into Cabernet Sauvignon wine casks sourced from Mont Gras’ Intriga Estate in Alto Maipo, located at the foot of the Andes, Chile. 9,000 bottles filled at cask strength... Sounds delightful!
