Gordon & Macphail - Longmorn Single Malt Scotch Whisky Cask Strength Connoisseurs Choice (Batch 20/028) 1999
Longmorn Single Malt Scotch Whisky Cask Strength Connoisseurs Choice (Batch 20/028) 1999Since 1895, Gordon & MacPhail has been trusted with new-make spirit from over 100 Scottish distilleries. Developing these long-standing relationships are as important to us today as it was a century ago.
Each distillery produces a unique spirit, created using three simple ingredients: malted barley, water and yeast. The spirit’s characteristics are determined by many factors such as the dimensions and design of the copper stills, and of course the oak cask that nurtures the spirit during maturation.
We carefully select wood that will complement and nurture the spirit. Our Sherry casks are made in Jerez, Spain, to exacting specifications and seasoned before being shipped to Scotland. Meanwhile, our local partners, Speyside Cooperage, help us source the highest quality ex-bourbon casks from North America.
It is this cask curation that allows us to consistently deliver our range of perfectly balance
Nose: Fresh and floral - dew on grass with plenty of ripe pear and thick honey-comb aromas. Delicate hints of oak and spice infuse with flambéed banana and white chocolate.
Taste: Creamy with a gentle heat. Crème anglaise, honey, and elderflower alongside crystalised violet. Honey drizzled pear flavours are present on the palate with an underlying charred oak edge.
Finish: Medium bodied; smooth and balanced with pepper and ripe autumnal fruits.
