Longrow was a whiskey distillery in Campbeltown , Argyll and Bute , Scotland .
The distillery was founded in 1824 by John Beith & Co. on the street of the same name in Campbeltown. Along with Dalaruan , Lochhead and Meadowburn , it was the fourth distillery to be licensed in Campbeltown this year. In 1852 it came into the possession of John Ross , first as a partner alongside John Beith, later as John Ross Co. , who ran it until his death in 1886. William & James Greenlees took over the business and ran it until it closed in 1896. The distillery was located on Wells Close between Glebe Street and Longrow and was adjacent to the Springbank distillery . Individual buildings have been preserved to this day and are used by the Springbank distillery for bottling, for example.
When Alfred Barnard visited the distillery as part of his whiskey tour in 1885, it had an annual production capacity of 40,000 gallons , making it one of the smaller distilleries in town. There were two small stills available. A malt whiskey was produced.
The Springbank distillery has been selling a single malt whiskey called Longrow since 1985 . This was burned from 1974. This is made from peated malt and distilled twice, resulting in an intense smoky whiskey. This is available in various standard fillings. In addition to Longrow, Springbank also issued a triple distilled whiskey made from unpeated malt under the name Hazelburn .
