Rumour: Longrow Red 13 Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon

Longrow Red is an annual small batch release of peated Longrow by Springbank Distillery. The whisky is bottled at cask strength and every year a different type of red wine cask is used to mature the whisky.

Rongrow Red offers an alternate take on the peated Longrow malts with smooth and elegant whiskies. The 2020 release is 13 years old, bottled at 51.6%, and matured in 10 years in a mixture of bourbon barrels and refill sherry hogsheads followed by 3 years in Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon barrels from Mont Gras' Intriga Estate in Alto Maipo.

Ardbeg The Shortie Smoky Porter

Legendary Islay distillery Ardbeg will release its very first beer, a smoky porter. The name? The Shortie Smoky Porter. The beer is named after the Ardbeggian mascot Shortie.

The Shortie Smoky Porter has been brewed in aid of World Water Day on March 22. The beer is part of a larger project. 250 craft brewers will release a one-off brew to support the Global Gathering. All profits will be donated to support clean water projects in Malawi.

Ardbeg's Smoky Porter is a beer with notes of bitter dark chocolate, malty biscuit, dry espresso coffee and a hint of liquorice. It's also been given a smokey flavour worthy of a proper Ardbeg whisky. The beer has an ABV of 6.2%.

The beer was brewed Williams Bros Brewing Co. using the peated malt that is used to produce Ardbeg Ten Years Old.

It will be available exclusively in the UK from the Ardbeg Distillery Visitor Centre and online at ardbeg.com from Tuesday 24th March. Price: £14 for a four-pack.

Rumour: The Balvenie The Edge of Burnhead Wood 19YO

"Through the winding paths and steep Speyside hills to a glorious moor of heather. This is the story of what would fondly come to be known as The Heather Trials, and how the people behind them helped create the first-ever expression of The Balvenie made entirely with ingredients grown on its Dufftown estate."

The Edge of Burnhead Wood is n°6 in The Balvenie Stories, a series of whiskies endorsed by key figures from The Balvenie Distillery. The first three expressions - 12YO The Sweet Toast of American Oak, 14YO The Week of Peat and 26YO A Day of Dark Barley - came from the hand of Kelsey McKechnie, Ian Millar and David Stewart.

Through an NFC-tag, whisky enthousiasts could discover specially recorded audio-conversations and a guided whisky tasting of their Balvenie Whisky. These recordings are also available as a podcast.

And while you are sipping one of these tasty drams from The Balvenie, you can enjoy the book Pursuit: The Balvenie Stories by Alex Preston.
