Longmorn 32 years 1992 - 2024 #48454

"This 1992 distillate had been gently resting in a refill bourbon hogshead and has been bottled at 49.9% ABV. This whisky provides an utterly sublime and velvety tasting experience, with notes of lavender and violets, apricot, custard cream, tart grapefruit, key lime pie, and macadamia nut.

Floral and fruity but with a pleasant liqueur-like bitterness and appropriate heft, this Longmorn shows as refined but not simply a delicate dram."
