Longmorn 2011

DISTILLED on 12th April 2011 and BOTTLED on 14th July 2023

Located just outside Elgin, the distillate is recognised as sweet and fruity with toffee notes. Matured in a butt and finished in a first fill Ex-Pedro Ximenez hogshead for six months for layers of dried fruit and spice.

Highly prized by blenders and easy to see why, this distillery is rarely represented by independent bottlers. This sophisticated Speyside whisky lends itself well to active cask maturation and that’s exactly what we have here. Matured for most of its life in a 2nd fill oloroso butt we then transferred it to a fresh ex-PX hogshead to add sweetness and enhance the sherry character already present.

Tasting revealed - New Leather, coffee chocolate and dried fruit.
