Longmorn 23 Year Old - Secret Speyside Collection Whisky 48% Abv 

Double Cask Matured

Colour: Gold.

Nose: Ripe pears, mirabelle, vanilla and a few gooseberries. It’s rather straightforward, decent, quite modern Speyside whisky. A nice fruitiness that harks back to some older Longmorns . Touches of green pepper, some lemon peel and white bread. Very Nice

Mouth: Lots of white pepper, green fruits and fresh cereals. A few white and yellow flowers, a drop of mead, pollen, granny smith apples and sunflower oil. The higher strength is definitely an asset here and thankfully the wood is restrained on the palate. Hints ofcocoanut / creme brulee aspect coming through rather notably. Continues with a little mustard powder and some custardy notes.

Finish: Good length, all on orchard and green fruits with some citrus peel notes. A little wood spice biting in the aftertaste.

Comments: It’s a perfectly fine and supremely drinkable modern Speysider, I’m also pleased to report that there are some definite Longmorn-esque fruity qualities about it.
