Медовый солодовый Longmorn с яблоком, грушей, ванилью и цитрусово-апельсиновыми нотами; мягкий летний глоток, дубово-пряный к финалу. Опытные ценят питкость, но дружно отмечают нехватку сложности; часть партий подпорчена серой.
развернуть подробно
В аромате преобладают ваниль, мёд, карамель, спелые яблоки и груши, цитрусовые и характерные апельсиновые и флердоранжевые ноты, к которым добавляются солод, лёгкий дуб, орех и порой кофе или крепкий чёрный чай. Вкус сладкий, сливочно-округлый, с яблоком, персиком, мёдом и грушей, но при крепости 48% даёт заметный пряный дубовый нагрев и покалывание на языке; послевкусие средней длины, сухое, пряно-дубовое, у части образцов с ощутимой горечью. Хвалят питкость, мягкость, обволакивающую текстуру и уместность как повседневного летнего виски; отдельные авторы находят и приятную сложность с апельсиновой и травяной палитрой.
Критика сосредоточена на нехватке глубины и на том, что нос ярче вкуса, который иногда проваливается в середине и финале, а цена растёт. Опытные ревьюеры держатся плотной группой в районе 82–85, единодушно описывая виски как приятный, но простой, и нередко замечая, что прежняя 15-летняя версия была лучше; заметно ниже оценил лишь один, столкнувшийся с горечью и недостатком мягкости при 48%. Остальные разбросаны шире — от 73–80 у тех, кому мешают плоский вкус, невзрачность или сера в отдельных партиях, до 87–88 у поклонников апельсиново-фруктового профиля. Повторяющийся дефект — серные ноты в некоторых батчах, способные испортить впечатление; в целом же оценки согласованы вокруг «крепкого, но не выдающегося» уровня.
Mostly citrusy, malty, vanilla and probably some apricots? Simple but drinkable - may qualify as daily dram

Not very complex but still nice and pleasant to drink.
The nose is nice, but apart from that it's not impressive.
Nice summer dram no complex whisky drinks smoothly

Strong oak, but soft, spicy, some vanilla, ... then a bit more fruity. A first sip is aromatic, strong, burns at first, but then turns nicely round, is even relatively complex. Medium-length finish. Very well done. Should be ok soon market disappear - at least temporarily ...
Pleasant drinkable malt, though the old 15yo OB was better, and the price is slowly going to crazy.

This is a whisky that has its good elements. It starts very well, than has a below-par middle, but ends on a positive note. It feels like the different casks used for this batch don't blend particularly well. Certainly not a bad whisky, but there are plenty of better IB's out there.

Despite the 16 years maturation not particularly ripe / soft, the 48% vol. ensure an intense taste. I am a little lacking in complexity, but there is a clear line. The bottle I tried out of had been open for a long time, and it is quite possible that this has changed the character of my dram somewhat.

Initially very caramel-emphasized, with apple and European oak, some citrus, roasted aromas with a slight maritime accent, after some time in the air the whisky becomes fuller, you can smell orange and a lot of fruity sherry, also a little vanilla |

First of all a lot of sherry with oak wood, very tingling on the tongue, again caramel and sherry, apple, overall a massive drop, unfortunately also with a good portion of bitterness - too much for my taste |

Not quite what I've expected. The nose is much better than the taste. Drinked it along with an eight year old Longmorn from Signatory and guess what? The younger one tasted better. 79/100

you will recognize many orange notes in the smell in the taste in the after taste , but its also a verry complex whisky with many flavour profiles ,its a verry good whisky 87/100
Oranges, orange blossoms scent. Gingerbread spice on the palate, extremely warm in the mouth. Long flowery herbal aftertaste. A classic winter whisky. Positive, for me, is the new packaging.
Honey, Malt, Oak, Applejuice, original 16 yr is 2-3 point at higher as it is less oak/spice forward and more balanced.

Tropical and orchard fruits, honey, oats, citrus, creamy vanilla, nuts, flowers, hint of spices. Silky texture. Simple but not simplistic. Delicious, perfect for summer.

You get a sense that the underlying Longmorn class is there, but it can't escape the sulphur. The sulphur is never that overt, but it kills the dram.

It’s starts with notes of caramel, oak, sweet fruits, spices, cake, floral, grass and fruit garden on nose. The palate is sweet with notes of fruits, barberry, cream, red apples, spices and flowers. The finish is middle, sweet and spicy with notes of vanilla, barberry and grass. It’s a very good, sweet and smooth whisky.
rather unspectacular (73/100)
It's a challenging whisky with a lot of bitter notes but I like it. It needs time in the glass and plenty with water. (Rating interval 84-88)
Just a delicious Longmorn, nothing to complain about.

Takes a little water and a lot of time. Less pronounced and complex as it was before. In relation to the price: disappointing. Time has not been kind to Longmorn.

A vegetal and fruity Longmorn but its first orientation tends towards the bitters, not in being a defect, only, here the bitters and the vegetable mask the rest. What interest? Not much, especially considering its price ... It's fresh but not balanced enough. We are lost. If it had to be given a subjective note, it would be a 83.

Fresh and fruity, and a very nice finish. Cheap and good.
Strong aromatic whisky that lacks a bit of length compared to the rest. Remains very good and easy to drink.

It's very honest, maybe a little expensive for what it is.
