Longmorn 14 Year Old Old 2010
Our Tenth Year! Incredible, right? Our very first MMM release dates back to 2016, and since then, we've added 36 whisky releases to our portfolio. The tenth series is special because we are collaborating with none other than The Glasgow Illustrator, Adrian B McMurchie, a talented artist whose illustrations appear all over Glasgow. Be sure to check out his website, as you'll find some truly beautiful works there... including the artwork that will appear on our labels this year. For the first release in our new Illustrator Series, we were able to get our hands on a fantastic Longmorn barrel from the heart of Speyside, laid down in May 2010 and bottled at cask strength in June of last year.
Color White wine
Nose A wonderfully fruity nose of vanilla, white chocolate, and soft notes of overripe pear, complemented by a touch of almond paste and a hint of buttermilk and dandelions. A spring-fresh Longmorn.
Palate Beautifully oily, almost creamy on the palate. The white fruit and almonds immediately return (feel free to call the latter marzipan), sprinkled with a bit of crystal sugar, delightfully sweet. But the cask also plays its part, adding beautiful wood spices like liquorice and a dash of white pepper. It absolutely doesn't need water and is perfectly balanced.
Finish This continues beautifully in the wonderfully long, gently spicy finish.
Manny and I dare to call this spirit-driven, which illustrates (see what we did there?) that the cask is important but doesn’t need to dominate. A brilliant Longmorn to kick off our tenth year.
