Colour: Dark gold.
Nose: Sweet, Earthy peat. Red fruit. dried Grapes. Smoke , BBQ smoke to be more specific.. A little citrus. Pepper
Palate: Spicy. Winey and Smokey sweet. Very very good. The wine does not overpower this strong and virile youngster of a dram, but adds a very nice layer. Some peppers , Earthy peat. Leather. Chilly and Sugary at the same time. A delight. I absolutely love this one. One of the best peat-wine combinations I've had (since of course Octomore 2.2)
Finish: Long. Peppery sweet and smoke galore. Raisins. Peat. Long and powerful. You can not ask for more.

@galg, is this really in the same league as Octomore 2.2?
I have a bottle of this Longrow in the stash that I'm pretty excited to open. The Octomore 2.2, though, is one that I just dream about. If I knew they were in the same league, that might make the dream a little less bitter.
