This mahogany dram looks like a winter warmer, and that is how I would use it.

I loved the aroma. After that the stern, impenetrable palate was frustrating but in keeping with the mood. A good, old-fashioned Speysider.

I had never noticed the rose water note before, I also find it in Linkwood – from the same valley.

That frisky Speysider judiciously bottled at 45% has a lot to deliver. Will certainly light up a zen moment.

Great balance and depth. At last! Longmorn gets the bottling it deserves.

Maybe not as balanced as the classic 15 year-old. But who would turn one's nose up to a Longmorn? So rare, so satisfying. Yummy.
