Longmorn 1964 - 2015 First Fill Sherry Butt #1535

Michael Urquhart: On the instructions of my father, cask 1535 was filled with 'new-make' spirit distilled at Longmorn Distillery on 27th March 1964. It was left quietly mature at the distillery for many years before being transferred to Gordon & MacPhail's bonded warehouses in 1972.

There the cask lay until the decision was finally taken to bottle this Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky on 27th January 2015.

Tasting note

This espression of Longmorn has rum and raisin notes, with hints of old leather and beeswax polish. Stewed prune influences emerge and a delicate hint of nutmeg lingers.
