Longmorn

Whisky Magazine - Recommended - Winner

Longmorn 15 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 45.00%
8 I had never noticed the rose water note before, I also find it in Linkwood – from the same valley.

Whisky Magazine - Recommended - Winner

Longmorn 15 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 45.00%
8 A rewarding marriage of weight and elegancy.

Whisky Magazine - Editors Choice - Winner

Longmorn 15 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 45.00%
8 That frisky Speysider judiciously bottled at 45% has a lot to deliver. Will certainly light up a zen moment.

Whisky Magazine - Recommended - Winner

Longmorn 16 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 45.00%
8 Great balance and depth. At last! Longmorn gets the bottling it deserves.

Longmorn 17 Years Old, Cask Strength
Single Malt - Scotland - 58.20%
8 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.

Longmorn 1976 31 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 54.30%
8 A natural beauty. Rich and elegant, without ostentation.As harmonious as a concerto from Mozart.

Whisky Magazine - Recommended - Winner

Longmorn 31 Years Old Bottle for the Whisky Fair
Single Malt - Scotland - 49.80%
8 An extremely complex – and for me, pleasant – nose is matched by a dense and demanding palate.

Berry's Own Selection Longmorn 1988
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.00%
7 Well balanced. A real wee sweetie.

Whisky Magazine - Recommended - Winner

Berry's Own Selection Longmorn 1990
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.00%
7 A perfectly pretty dram but it is almost too light. Even delicate whiskies need backbone.

Berry's Own Selection Longmorn 1992
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.00%
7 What a bizarre bottle...musty nose and fragrant palate.

Blackadder Longmorn 1973
Single Malt - Scotland - 56.90%
7 This mahogany dram looks like a winter warmer, and that is how I would use it.

Cooper's Choice Longmorn 1975, 27 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.00%
8 Complex, as Longmorn always is, but I wonder about the cask.

Dewar Rattray Longmorn 1984 20 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 54.00%
7 Very pretty and summery. A good antidote if you feel you might be turning into a phenol-guzzling loony.

Dewar Rattray Longmorn 1990 14 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 55.30%
7 I loved the aroma. After that the stern, impenetrable palate was frustrating but in keeping with the mood. A good, old-fashioned Speysider.

Old Malt Cask Longmorn, 19 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 50.00%
7 A nice dram but a bit thin. Easy to forget.

Private Collection Longmorn 46 Years Old, 1964
Single Malt - Scotland - 51.90%
7 I'm the biggest fan of Longmorn but here the distillery's lost in an oak forest.

Whisky Magazine - Recommended - Winner

Scotch Malt Whisky Society 7.51 Longmorn Sweet, Rich & Fruity 1984 26 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 57.40%
8 Balanced and fine. Worth a look.

Wemyss Vintage Malts Honey Harvest 13 Years Old 1997
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.00%
7 Has substance but light enough to make a fine aperitif/Highball.

Wilson & Morgan Longmorn 1990 Marsala Finish
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.00%
7 This highly respected whisky lives a blamelessly quiet life near Elgin. One little drink of Marsala and the Lossie goes all Mediterranean.
