Longmorn

Distilled in 1992 at Longmorn, this single cask offering from Adelphi is a quintessential example of this iconic Speyside whisky. Over the years, we have seen numerous selections from the 1990's from Longmorn, and this is an exemplar of the style. A bounty of syrupy fruits both canned and fresh is surrounded by honey, waxy notes and lashings of apricot, citrus and herbal liqueur notes. There is a fleeting floral note of lavender or violet cream and a nutty macadamia.

This expression was distilled at Longmorn distillery in 2008 before being laid down in a parcel of Gordon and Macphail's own casks. it was matured for a total of fifteen years before being cut to a strength of 46%. This whisky is both unchillfiltered and of natural colour.

Stewed rasin and pressed apple aromas compliment autumnal spices. 

Strawberry flavours combine with citrus and walnut. A full finish with ripe plum and chocolate

The second expression of Longmorn we have recently seen from Signatory's 'Symington's Choice' selection. This expression was bottled from a single first fill ex Oloroso cask.  From colour alone the cask influence is evident, there are expected notes of rich chocolate, stewed fruits and gentle spice along with zesty citrus oil, and touches of floral honey.
