Decent whisky. Can't keep up with older longrows, of course, because he lacks depth. But you can drink it well and is a good start in terms of longrow.Palindrome scored this whisky 86 points
This one has a pan fried rattle snake note. Love it. Rustle me up another dram from the larder, hoss.TeddyKGB scored this whisky 85 points
Longrow CV,
I read so many reviews about you, often rave about it. You have to believe that the memory that accompanies some missing whiskys and the emotional imprint they leave are indelible and misleading because, although sympathetic, I find it hard to understand the craze about this Curriculum Vitae.
Heavily peated? Is that so? Okay...
Young? Yes, sure.
Unforgettable? No, unquestionably ...
I'll take the 10 yo over this one, anytime!gaboruso scored this whisky 87 points

It is interesting that the smoke note appears on the tongue very late and then all the more intensely in the finish. And once you've picked up the smoky trail, it shows it when you just sniff the (now empty) glass.
Otherwise, a neat, younger longrow, which has an age-appropriate brisk finish.-
Restrained, shy, fine nose. A compote of strawberries and rhubarb peels out after a little while. Initial spark: Now even more flavors “dare” into the spotlight, showing malt, yeast dough, toffee, nougat, creme brulee. Maritime notes and at the same time damp forest floor and slightly moldy wood in the background.
-
First lies gently on the tongue, but jaggedly pulls out a few interesting barbs and hooks onto the tongue. Hard to make out in the nose, the tongue shows the wet pebble, salt, savory and clove powder. Marzipanbrot. Almonds. Fresh fruit salad with a dash of lemon. Looks clear, refreshing, lively. Over time, dry wood and - quite late, I think - smoke materialize.
-
Just so medium in the finish. Dry, wood, now clearly smoky. Fading fruits.

Before there was Longrow peated there was the CV. Good entry level malt for Longrow.-
Good fresh maritime start with wet stones, seabreeze and some nice peat. The freshness continues into citrus fruit.
-
Quite you would expect from the nose. Nice earthy peat. The citrus fruit is here again. Some chalk and mineral feeling. Enough sweetness and quite oily.
-
Good length on salt and peat with some fruity sweetness

One of the least interesting Springbanks I've ever tasted. Enthusiasm 3/5 Whisky n ° 1281-
Grassy first. It's young. Are there cognac casks ?? Strange... The duo soot / fruit finally emerges.
-
Sweet, mellow and spicy, it is balanced but a little rough and unreadable.
-
Easy, moderate smoke, spicy. A little rough.

very good, no flaws!
89/100-
I´m tasting this after having had the longrow peated.
plays in the same league. very similar profile.
peaty and ashy with lemons and salt, rain on dusty pavement.
young and direct and just lovely stuff. you can try to describe these whiskies but one has to try them otherwise he won´t understand what you mean. -
longrow, longrow , longrow. I don´t wanna repeat myself, mostly the same taste as longrow peated, perhaps a tad sweeter but I´m not sure. I think itś also a bit older than the "peated".
-
long and quite peaty and ashy, still slightly salty.

whiskyinstitut scored this whisky 88 points
Beautiful composition of different types of barrels!-
Complex nose, rum notes, bitter orange, typical saltiness, light peat smoke, the light youth comes through and lets the alcohol feel something, the bitter orange dominate in the aroma
-
Smoke, oak, sugar sweetness and light smoke come together directly, slightly astringent, the saltiness and the oranges come again
-
Here comes me again some rum and the meaning, the bitter oranges stick together with the oak sweet on the palate, the oak becomes more dominant over time

he looks older than the peated, although he is less peaty in my opinion, he is more mature. I like it better.-
The CV is similar in the nose, but stronger, more intense than the peated. Lots of fruit, orange peel, no young notes. Very typical of the springbanks, with an aromatic smoke that is not as martine as the Peated.
-
similar to the peated: nice strong peat, dry, slightly salty, and a little candied orange peel in the background. However, the peat is weaker and the whisky looks more mature.
-
The finish is sweet with peat, tropical fruits, pepper and dry until the end.

emptycask scored this whisky 87 points
Nose:
Oil, fresh wood, creamy, fruity, sweet dates, marzipan, old leather, apples and a slight hint of tcp.
Taste:
Soft and sweet arrival, gentle peat, again with dates, leather, salty, rum beans, vanilla spice, drying in the development with a peppery note.
Finish:
Nice length, turns more salty and the pepper lasts.Koalafant scored this whisky 83 points
A good "Aufräumer", but a bit too one-dimensional for my taste.-
Light fruits with pleasant, non-medicinal smoke, hay and dried herbs, hints of honey and a light freshness.
-
Cooked straw with honey and clear peppery spiciness. Only subtly sweet.
-
Long and bright burning. In the second sip quite bitter.

I just tasted this recently at a friend's house. I went back and checked my tasting notes when I got home. This is what I had written a few years ago:
Nose: Grass fire, hay, roast chicken, lovely hint of peat, virgin olive oil, ash, peppermint.Palate: A very unconventional exchange: Lemon, pan fried chicken, mesquite smoke, sea salt caramel, anejo tequila, mescal, peaty goodness.Finish: The oily and the spicy intertwine and then release with lingering peat and smoke, with a touch of oaken wood in there.Rogier Engel scored this whisky 84 points
A nice peat bomb, produced by Springbank.cfosterk did not rate this whisky
This Longrow CV (curriculum vitae) is made of 3 vintages,
matured in 4 different oak types: 6 years old whisky from bourbon casks,
10 years old from port and rum casks, and 14 years old from sherry
casks. This was blended to showcase the different Longrow characters.

CV (46%, OB, 2008)
Like the older Springbank CV, this
one is a vatting of various ages,
CV meaning Curriculum Vitae (and
not Chairman’s Vat). This
one will be bottled right this week
(tomorrow or the day after tomorrow
if I’m not mistaken). Colour:
straw. Nose: clean, pure and fresh
at first nosing. Smokier than expected,
with rather delicate hints of mint
and aniseed, then apple compote,
vanilla crème and fresh butter,
and finally whiffs of wet wool and
a little brown coal. Neither feinty
(at all), nor marked by any heavy
wood treatment, which sounds like
excellent news to our ears. Great
nose, peatier, more ‘Islay’
than previous recent bottlings.
Mouth:
very direct, very peaty and peppery,
with rather big citrusy notes at the
attack. Pepper and lemons plus a little
vanilla fudge, orangeade, dried ginger...
Gets peatier over time. Not exactly
a peat monster but quite – maybe
the peatiest Longrow I ever tried.
Finish: long, clean, peaty, peppery,
with added notes of bitter oranges
and a pinch of salt. Comment: it’s
amazing how a great spirit Longrow
can be when it’s not masked
by exuberant wood. We like this a
lot and shall buy bottles when it’s
out. SGP:347 – 89 points.barryfox915 scored this whisky 79 points
Colour: Gold.
Nose: Fresh, rather young, meaty, peaty, salty and showing a
quite strong resemblance to the new whiskies distilled in the South shore of
Islay.
Taste: Dry, malty, oaky, salty, slightly maritime, peaty, with some
hemp rope aromas, vanilla and a touch of ginger. The finish is medium, slightly
dry, peaty, smoky, salty, very maritime and with some liquorice root.
General
Impression: A vatting of Longrow of different age, containing a fair proportion
of 6 YO Longrow, but showing a remarkable maturity. More peaty than the Longrow
10 or 14 YO.

Longrow CV (46%, OB 2008)
Nose: wet stones, tobacco. Subtle smoke and soft peat. Some fruity notes (orange, yellow apple, lemon) and mint. Mouth: assertive, quite oily and spicy. Peppered peat. Citrus again. Finish: smokey at first, develops on vanilla with tobacco leafs in the end.
A young dram, smooth and easily drinkable with different flavour dimensions.
Score: 84/100.

Taste: starting clear smoke and bitter almond, walnuts
Finish: bitter oak, too bitter for my taste
Verdict: not my whisky the bitterness notes are too stressed
Note: 70PShane_IL scored this whisky 91 points
For its price and young age this is one of the finest whiskies I've ever tried. A very interesting dram with loads of character.-
Sea spray, peat (gentle not a huge Islay punch), lemons, citrus zest, fresh cut grass, mild olive oil, toffee apple.
-
Peat, smoke, citrus, salt, sea-soaked wood like an old boat.
-
A long lasting smoky lemon zest

Safran scored this whisky 87 points
Falls easily into good price/quality category. Very nice daily dram. I like smoked and pepper tango here. Bit lacking of balance. Anyway, it is young vat, not too much wood influence, but different casks maturing does it's nice job. http://www.whisky-bros.lt/en/longrow-cv-
Peat, gentle wax and honey notes, some sweet almonds also.
-
Smoke comes first with some kicks of pepper (black and white), some sweet and bitter notes also, like orange peel, unripe banana, peanuts. Some hints of sherry.
-
Long, oily and salty. Good dose of smoke and pepper.

This is so affordable. Have not tasted the sequel to this one (Longrow Peated) but will definitely buy one.
(Rating interval 84-88)-
The power is immediately recognized on the nose. it's malty, peaty, with notes of molasses and citrus. Lemon grass maybe?
-
Peat smoke, wet smoke, brown sugar, licorice and sweet aromatic oak. A really nice touch of sea salt is following. It's creamy on the palate.
-
The finish is powerful, medium to long in length, smoky with grape fruit and black currant.

One of the nicest vakue for money single malts I have tasted so far. Peaty, but not excessively so, well rounded and absolutely drinkable. I have heard that production will cease soon, so if you can get a hold of it, add it to your collection.HunterRomario scored this whisky 84 points

Sweet peat fragrance in a lighter style is the first impression, with sharper, spicy spices in the next study.
-
Peppery flavor, pepper, cloves with peppercorn.

-
rather young aromas and a punchy smokiness: burnt butter, malt extract and cane sugar.
-
very vivid with lots of peat and medicinal notes. Followed by a creamy taste at the back of the tongue.
-
a smooth, almost silky, finish with whipped cream, nutmeg and coal.

Very nice dram this. But then, I'm a Springbank devotee...-
A very fresh aroma of citrus fruits with peat. Gentle. Quite an interesting nose this.
-
As you would expect from Springbank output, pretty complex. Sweetness to go with the peat (rather Laph QC in that respect). Vanilla custard too. The citrus from the nose is now a trace of oranges - very ripe. Slightly viscous, oily mouthfeel.
-
Long and dry after the vanilla sweetness of the palate. Fruity. Quite intense
-
Feusi scored this whisky 90 points
Hopperla, here it comes a beautiful dram in the nose, powerful, combined with smoke and peaty lemony freshness. The palate experiences the same as the nose. Fresh and long lasting. Some longer time in the glass and there are more orange notes with a pleasant sweetness to the fore.tomy63 scored this whisky 82 points

Yes, it is still quite young, but very punchy, peaty, intense, and well made. A very good value whisky.Dede scored this whisky 87 points
A very nice whisky, no frills. If we played the Chinese portrait, he would be a workman in his blue, taking the smell of the factory with him on his way home. The kind of man with sufficient build so that we do not seek him mess, but without history. I really like.-
This nose is powerful. It has something industrial, factory chimney smoked, burnt synth fat, engine overheated. It also exudes animal smell (new leather, musk), but still notes of applesauce, a little anise too. It takes roundness in the air (toffee). Not a delicate whisky, a man whisky, but without brutality.
-
The attack is quiet, on the fruit (always apples applesauce), then we gain in power, with spices (white pepper), salt, a beautiful peat and a greasy bitterness acidulous e (grapefruit).
-
Long and hot, a little tart and peaty, with a nice malty bitterness and nice grapefruit notes.
