Nose
Very honeyed with sweet dried fruits (peach). In time a sweet malty note (malt loaf) alongside a light waxiness (spent candle) and brazil nut. Layered.
Palate
Clean, spicy with a fragrant (freesia?) note on top. Honeyed, very soft and deep in the centre. Raisin, custard, malt.
Finish
Long with returning spices.
Comment
Great balance and depth. At last! Longmorn gets the bottling it deserves.

Nose
A sweet tempting almost heady coconut fragrance. Like walking among gorses on a summer day. Opens on biscuity aromas.
Palate
Smooth, silky. Enticing. Marzipan, macaroon, Chocolate and cereal bar.
Finish
Drying on pleasant oaky notes. And chewed grass.
Comment
A“sunny” dram. So satisfying. Beautiful example of a well managed bourbon cask maturation.
