Longmorn is a hidden gem from the Speyside region, cherished for its rich and elegant whiskies. This 17-year-old single malt, bottled by Van Wees in the Ultimate series, has been fully matured in a sherry butt. The extended aging in this cask type has imparted deep fruity and spicy notes, perfectly balanced with Longmorn’s natural sweetness. Bottled at cask strength, this expression offers a powerful yet refined whisky experience.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Rich notes of dried fruits such as raisins, figs, and plums, combined with a subtle hint of orange zest and toasted nuts. The sherry influence brings deep aromas of caramel, dark chocolate, and a touch of leather, while light spicy accents of cinnamon and nutmeg add further complexity.

Palate

Full-bodied and creamy, striking a perfect balance between sweet and spicy tones. Flavors of sherry-soaked raisins, caramel, and milk chocolate blend harmoniously with hints of spiced oak, mocha, and roasted almonds. The texture is rich and oily, enhancing the whisky’s depth and intensity.

Finish

Long and warming, with a lingering sweetness of dried fruits and dark honey. The oak influence remains subtle yet present, while notes of clove, tobacco, and a touch of pure cocoa gradually fade, leaving an elegant final impression.

Longmorn 17 years 1996 - 2014 is an outstanding sherry-aged whisky with a refined balance of power and elegance.
