Longrow 114 Proof Batch 3: a third batch from bourbon and wine casks

The third batch of Longrow 114 Proof

Longrow, the peated whisky of Springbank Distillery in Campbeltown, has a third batch of its 114 Proof on the way. The US authority TTB approved the label for Longrow 114 Proof Batch 3 on 9 November 2026. The application came from the Californian importer Pacific Edge Imports, and the back label carries a stamp reading "Batch No.3".

The 114 Proof comes out once a year as a single batch. The labels for Batch 1 surfaced in December 2024. Like Batch 1, the third batch is bottled at 57% ABV. It is distilled, matured and bottled in Scotland, and the label names J.&A. Mitchell & Co. Ltd. of Campbeltown.

What the number 114 means

The 114 is not an age. It follows the American proof scale, where the figure is exactly twice the alcohol content in percent. 114 proof is therefore 57% ABV.

Longrow also has a bottle with a similar name: Longrow 100 Proof at 57.1% ABV. Its 100 refers to the old British scale, on which 100 proof means about 57% ABV. So both labels state almost the same strength, just in two systems. The first batch of the 100 Proof also matured in bourbon casks first and then in casks that had held Pinot Noir. Springbank has not said whether the two bottles hold the same whisky.

Bourbon, wine and peat smoke

According to the back label, each year's 114 Proof matures in a combination of casks that previously held bourbon and wine. Which wine it was this time, the label does not say. For Batch 1 it still read Pinot Noir. The label gives no age.

Springbank has made Longrow since 1973. It is distilled twice, and the malt dries over peat for up to 48 hours. The whisky has no added colouring and is not chill filtered, so a natural haze can form in the bottle. There are no tasting notes for Batch 3 yet.

When it arrives

No one has named a date, a price or the number of bottles so far. A TTB approval does not guarantee that a bottle reaches the shelves, but it is usually a clear sign that it will. You can find Longrow 114 Proof Batch 3 on Spiritory.
