										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Batch #2<br />
Refill Bourbon and Refill Pinot Noir Casks</strong></p>
<p>A brand-new addition to the range, whilst also evoking a bit of nostalgia, Longrow 100 Proof recognises the appreciation for this style of whisky from our distillery.</p>
<p>The characteristic Longrow peat smoke is married with the subtle influence of red wine casks and bottled at proof strength, providing a fitting contrast to our flagship Longrow Peated.</p>
<p>This whisky has been matured for almost 4 years in refill bourbon casks and over 2 years in refill pinot noir casks.</p>
<p><strong>Tasting Notes:</strong></p>
<p><span style="margin: 0px;padding: 0px"><strong>Nose: </strong>The peat smoke influence presents in medicinal TCP notes, along with notes of redcurrants on the nose.</span></p>
<p><strong>Palate:</strong> Softer on the palate, the peat smoke has a more earthy, musty element now, with notes of creme brulee, vanilla and almonds.</p>
<p><strong>Finish:</strong> Red cola cubes, strawberry laces and marzipan are at the forefront of the smoky Longrow finish.</p>
<p><strong>57.1% ABV<br />
</strong></p>
<p>Region: Campbeltown</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Balvenie DoubleWood 17 Year Old is a masterclass in layered maturation, created by Malt Master David C. Stewart MBE—one of the most influential figures in modern Scotch whisky. This single malt builds on the legacy of the beloved 12 Year-Old, taking the same dual-cask approach for greater depth and complexity.</p>
<p>It begins in American oak, lending soft vanilla and gentle spice, before a second maturation in European oak sherry casks adds richness, dried fruit, and structure.</p>
<p>The result is unmistakably Balvenie: honeyed, elegant, and textured. But this older sibling shows more refinement—more green apple and creamy toffee, greater palate weight, and a longer, spiced finish. It&#8217;s a whisky crafted the traditional way, with the Five Rare Crafts still at its core—from in-house malting to the cooperage and cask finishing that make it truly distinct.</p>
