longmorn 15 year old

Distillery: Longmorn
Style: Single Malt
Release: Unspecified
Age: 15 Years
Alcohol: 45% abv.
Region: Scotland, Speyside
Bottled For: Distillery

Part of Longmorn’s success was the result of the Distillery location. It was on the fringes of the main barley growing area of the Laich o’Moray; and there were plentiful supplies of peat available from the ‘foggie loans’ of the nearby Mannoch Hill. This part of Scotland has a micro-climate and fertile soil perfect for growing barley, so it is no surprise that the distillery was built close to where the finest ingredients possible could be found. The motive power for the distillery was originally provided entirely by a large water wheel that is still there today, though no longer in use.

Review this whisky

review by coloradodram

Color: Light orange amber.
Nose: Floral (violet), fruit (apple cider), better so with water. Not complex.
Body: Medium-light, but a good oily grab. Beautifully tight legs on the glass.
Palate: Sweet fruit and flowers, grassy peppery barley.
Finish: Tingly hot, and quite a long finish (not surprising at 45% ABV). The peppery crescendo bids adieu with a gorgeous cinnamon-ginger kick. The best finish of 30+ Speysides I've tasted.

Drop in 4 drops of water to the dram, and patiently nose and taste your way through this excellently variant scotch. It's like a more mature Balvenie Doublewood with a cinnamon pepper kick.
