This review is on a bottle of Longrow 18 that I opened and have been drinking over the past two months. It was bottled 3/23/18.
I have found this whiskey to be incredibly complex and it has changed a lot as I’ve made my way through the top half of the bottle.
Right now, here’s what I’m getting ...
On the nose, I smell custard, apple, cigar smoke, and fish oil. As I let it sit and open, I start getting Santa Rosa plums and sweet citrus.
On the palate, there’s dried grass, clover honey, and eucalyptus. As it opens, I get cooked stone fruit, bread dough, seaweed and just a touch of smoldering fire.
The finish is long and lingering and leaves me wanting more.
This is one that I keep coming back to; I can’t seem to get enough. I’m giving it 4.5 for now but, if it continues on the same trajectory, I may bump it up to 4.75 or 5 by the end of the bottle.
