Dave Broom
74- Nose
- The colour of cough syrup. Dense and heavily sherried. Liquorice, black cherry, dried sloe, raisin, tomato puree, prunes in Armagnac and a distinct whiff of freshly-buffed shoes.
- Palate
- Balsamic. Tight, hard and tannic with lots of bitter chocolate.
- Finish
- Hard.
- Comment
- I'm the biggest fan of Longmorn but here the distillery's lost in an oak forest.
Martine Nouet
76- Nose
- Obviously a very old fellow. Woody, musty, earthy. Damp warehouse. Walnut stain.
- Palate
- Extremely bitter. 99 per cent cocoa chocolate. Tobacco leaf. Wood, wood and wood.
- Finish
- Bitter, woody. Walnut stain.
- Comment
- More a liquid archive than a dram to enjoy. 46 years in cask have completely masked the distillery character. So difficult to score such a whisky. If it is based on the enjoyment scale, well, not for me.
