Quite heady and spicy with lots of lovely sherry influence, dried fruit, raisins and nuttiness. 87/100
Longmorn 15 Years Old 2005 Distillery Reserve Collection
Longmorn 11 Years Old 2009 Strictly Limited
A very drinkable expression full of vanilla and fruits and reasonably wood light, more tropical on the nose than the palate. 84/100
Longmorn 10 Years Old Batch 3
Longmorn 10 Years Old Batch 3 Whisky Review: A little bit spice and a lovely hint of florality on the nose, on the palate this has much more spirit character than cask for me and again I’m drawn to the conclusion that this is a lovely spirit-driven expression thanks to refill cask maturation. Very little oak in here but lots of drinkable Longmorn spirit. 84/100
SMWS 7.130 Musky, floral, sweet perfumes
SMWS 7.130 Musky, floral, sweet perfumes whisky review: A delicious aged Longmorn full of fragrant and fruity notes and a good helping of complimentary woody spices. Again a very true to form whisky expression redolent of Longmorn distillery character and aged to perfection in a refill hoggie for just the right balance of spirit and cask influences, approaching perfection. 88/100
Longmorn 23 Years Old 1991 Celebration of the Cask
Longmorn 23 Years Old 1991 Celebration of the Cask whisky review: an unusal old Longmorn, very fruity but also herbal and resinous wood influences from the cask, a real delight. 87/100
Longmorn 10 Years Old 2008 The Single Cask
Longmorn 10 Years Old 2008 Claxton’s whisky review: Young, spirity and possibly refill bourbon? Viewed as a work in progress this shows great potential, some lovely characteristics in here and didn’t need reduced to enjoy. 78/100
Longmorn 57 Years Old 1961 Cask 512
Longmorn 57 Years Old 1961 Cask #512 whisky review: More closed on the nose, this one rewarded a little more fruit on the palate but again another Cask-heavy wood-centric expression that sadly could have come from any number of distilleries. Once again no hint of Longmorn here. Despite the big numbers on these casks I found both more than a little disappointing. Perhaps I had set my expectations far too high, yet I have had other G&M old or even very old whiskies that have been simply sublime. Of the two casks this one was definitely more palateable. 79/100
Longmorn 57 Years Old 1961 Cask 508
Longmorn 57 Years Old 1961 Cask #508 whisky review: Great nose, and a wonderful experience to try such an old Longmorn, but, the contrast between the nose and palate is too great. Far too over-oaked for my palate, too spicy, bitter and harsh. Masses of or practically liquid/distilled European Oak wood didn’t make for a pleasurable drinking experience. Water made it more spicy and tannic, something this whisky didn’t lack. A lesson in wood. 63/100
