Today we explore two high-strength whiskies bottled at 100 proof. And neither comes from Signatory Vintage’s famous series. Instead, we examine two new additions to Springbank’s portfolio: the Springbank 5-Year-Old 100 Proof and the Longrow 100 Proof. Springbank introduced the 5-Year-Old 100 Proof in 2025 as a permanent core range addition. It marks the triumphant return of a historic bottling that vanished in the 1990s. The Longrow 100 Proof represents the inaugural batch of a bold new series. It replaces the discontinued Longrow Red range. Both whiskies mark significant milestones for the Campbeltown distillery.
