Longmorn 18 yr 57.6% 700ml Single Malt Scotch Whisky
| Description: | History,. Longmorn is owned by parent company Pernod Ricard, which also owns better known distilleries like The Glenlivet and Aberlour. The distillery has been around since 1893, and like many others it has gone through several changes of ownership over the years. Although there have been some previous single malt releases since the 1990s, Longmorn has just never achieved the name recognition of some of its contemporariesperhaps due in part to the whisky being a key component of Chivas Brothers blends. Interestingly, Masataka Taketsuru, the founder of Japanese distillery Nikka, worked there for short spell in 1920 to learn the whisky-making trade, and is said to have modeled his distilleries stills after Longmorns. Now Longmorn is getting a refresh with the launch of two new expressions that are aimed at the luxury market: 18- and 22-year-old whiskies anchoring the lineup instead of your typical 10- or 12-year-old. Both are very good, but the 18-year-old really hits the sweet spot of maturation. Its aged in American oak ex-bourbon barrels and hogsheads, its non-chill filtered (which many believe enhances the flavor), and its bottled at cask strength of 57.6 percent. Tasting Notes,. Aromas of sweet pear, ripe mango and creamy toffee mingle with orange marmalade on the nose, complemented by notes of fudge, oak and roasted nuts on the palate. |
