Longmorn 16 Year (Discontinued)

Citrus on the nose, along with honey. Caramel and honey in the taste. Ends with a lot of floral notes. Really good.

Honey and white chocolate. Touch of candied fruit that opens up as it sits in the glass. A few drops of water brings marshmallow and the fruits right up front. Delicate and incredible.

Been away from tasting for some time (but been enjoying drams on the weekends). From the way back collection of samples, I settled on Longmorn 16 which @Telex provided for our semi-virtual touring group. Bourbon notes are detectable on the nose. Vanilla, caramel, with a hint of baking spices: cloves and cinnamon. Gala apples, pears, Entenmann's crumb cake. A light maritime brine permeates throughout. Sweet, but not overblown. An inviting nose that takes a great deal of time to open. Be patient. The initial draws are hot and biting. The body is weighty and oily. Once the palate adjusts, subtle butterscotch sweetness is detectable. Aged Oak, leather and ground cinnamon with traces of Irish tea. Simple, but rewarding. The finish is long, oaky and drying. Ginger root, cinnamon and oddly, artificial grape (like grape soda). A scotch that the comes on slowly, but the more time you give it, the more you realize you are sipping on a solid whisky. The subtle sweetness and slight spiciness compliment each other and do not try to overpower each other. A dram perfect for an autumn beach evening while the sun descends. [87/100][Tasted: 8/17/18]

Nose is deeper than the 16 but the 15 hmis identical on the palate.
