Tasting Notes

Dave Broom 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.

Martine Nouet 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.
