Product Description

Distilled in 1969 and aged in a single refill sherry cask, this old Longmorn was bottled to celebrate the 10th anniversary of The Whisky Exchange back in 2009. Give this a little time to unfold in the glass and it offers wonderful rancio aromas of leather and Christmas cake with prunes, macerated berries, soft spices, cigar wrappers and liquorice. Sherried Longmorn at its absolute best.

Tasting Notes

Tasting notes by Whiskyfun (Serge Valentin)
- Colour
  Dark amber.
- Nose
  Classical big deep sherry at first nosing, with everything you’d expect from that style (prunes, coffee, chocolate, fruitcake et al) but also a blend of four ingredients that work fabulously well when combined: oranges, olive oil, honey and fresh mint. Try that at home, you’ll see what you’ll see. Goes on with more leather and heavy pipe tobacco (the thick, moist, black ones).
- With water
  Gets rather decadent, with many ‘half-aromas’, meaning it’s very, very complex. Soot, orange liqueur (and many other liqueurs), various spices, apple peelings, tea, raspberries… And an avalanche of other aromas.
- Mouth (neat)
  A tad fruitier than the 1968 (grapefruits, green apples, even litchis) but just as powerful and spicy. Much less ‘deep sherry’ than on the nose that is. Sultanas, cough syrup (eucalyptus getting more and more obvious).
- With water
  Firm, fruity, slightly resinous, orangey, clearly ‘old Longmorn’ now, the sherry being a tad more reserved now.
- Finish
  Long, firm, spicy, a tad oakier. Oranges and ginger tonic. Obvious oakiness in the aftertaste.
- Comments
  Just great, only the finish starts to be a tad drying at such old age. SGP:551 - 92 points.
