Dear friends,

I have stopped tasting strong drinks. I don't know for how long, I just don't want to do it anymore. I will post some tastings still, as I have many notes that are waiting to be published.

Longmorn 1983/2014 (Gordon & MacPhail)
2017-03-18
  • Distillery: Longmorn
  • Distilled: 1983
  • Bottler: Gordon & MacPhail
  • Bottled: 2014
  • Age: 30
  • ABV: 43%
Rating by Povilas: 89

Aroma: delicate notes of raisins, ripe apples, honey. Also notes of a good sherry and a old cognac. But main line is fruitiness and spices.
Palate: good balance of oak and fruit. Spicy, bit jammy, full of raisins. Delicate. I'm almost sure, higher strength will make wonders. Tropical fruits, honey with almonds and peppermint. Finish: perfectly fruity and sweet. Just bit too short.
