What Gary Says
Nose: Bright fruit notes of peaches, green apples, kiwi, coconut and cotton candy with fresh walnuts.
Palate: Sweet with fruit salad, cherries, nutmeg, vanilla with a bit of toffee and nutmeg before pepper spice builds.
Finish: Moderately long with fruit notes, vanilla and cracked white pepper.
Comments: This is a really bright and fruity dram, with orchard and tropical fruits. I’ve tried a few Longmorns, and liked every single one (although I don’t recall the others being this fruity). The Whisky Exchange points out that they “… love Longmorn, and this bourbon-barrel-matured single-cask bottling showcases the fruitiness that so often gets lost in drams from the distillery.” I think they nailed it.
