Private Collection 1970 from Longmorn Distillery
Private Collection 1970 from Longmorn Distillery has been matured in a first fill American hogshead. This cask has gifted the spirit with a delicious blend of strawberry and red apple aromas, complemented by hints of mild spice and dried orange flavours on the palate leading to a hint of mature oak on the finish.
Welcome to the 'Private Collection'
Nose
Fresh and juicy strawberry complements velvety white chocolate with an undertone of red apple. Rich vanilla aromas come to the fore and slowly transform into aniseed with a hint of blueberry sweetness.
Taste
Smooth; mild spice enhances flavours of dried orange dusted with rich dark cocoa powder. Fragrant hints of crushed mint leaves emerge, evolving into soft tannins and nuances of aged leather.
Finish
Medium-bodied and mouth-coating with lingering mature oak on the palate.
Longmorn
This Speyside distillery has been talked about by master distillers and blenders in hushed tones for decades, making it arguably one of the best kept secrets in the whisky business. In fact, should one decide to poll some of the most successful names in the whisky industry about their favourite malts, Longmorn is likely to feature highly.
Prized for its versatility, richness and intense fruity characteristics, Longmorn has been highly sought after as a single malt in its own right, as well as being the backbone for some of the world’s finest blended whiskies. At Gordon & MacPhail we treat it with the same reverence and it proudly sits in our Distillery Labels collection as a true Speyside great.
