Bottlings
February 15, 2012
At the Munich Finest Spirits Festival 2012 I had the chance to get two interesting Longmorn samples at the stand of slowdrink.de. One 12 and on 14 year old, but from two entirely different ages. Let’s see how they compare:
September 16, 2011
This really is a nice composition of flavours, well-balanced, nothing stands out. It needs a bit of water. – Rating: 84/100
June 18, 2011
This superb malt shows quite a bit of wood, but the strong flavours and the complexity are powerful enough to keep it in balance. – Score: 92/100
May 28, 2011
Noticeably better than the version I tasted in 2009 and also quite different. The flavour profile is a bit unusual but this is quite a pleasant dram. – Score: 84/100
March 28, 2011
Full-bodied, rich and creamy – this malt shows a delightful combination of sweet and fruity flavours that makes it a perfect after-dinner dram. – Rating: 86/100
November 19, 2009
Needs quite some water, a quite nutty dram with much wood spice. Could be a bit more balanced. – Score: 82/100
September 9, 2009
This one is a bit too spicy for my taste. There is not much to balance out the wood. It’s still not a bad whisky, but there is something missing. – Score: 80/100
