Longmorn 16 yo (48%, OB, +/- 2009)

An earlier batch from 2007 didn’t quite convince me (WF79) so let’s see if this new one is more to my liking. Colour: gold. Nose: rather different from the earlier version I must say, less on straight oak and grass and rather more on Longmorn’s typical fruitiness. Loads of overripe apples, then ripe cherries and strawberries, with even some bubblegum and marshmallows. There is some vanilla but it’s not excessive, the oak being rather delicate this time. Cedar wood. Whiffs of wax polish. Nice nose! Mouth: rather creamy and, once again, much, much better than the first batches in my opinion, with much more fruits, jams, sweet spices, fruit liqueurs and honey. Perfect mouth feel, rather oily. Excellent. Finish: long, thick, jammy, fruity. Apricot jam. Comments: to be honest, this is a huge surprise. The first 16s were disappointing, especially when compared with the older official 15, but this one is just excellent. Huge improvement in my opinion, kudos! But warning, it’s eminently drinkable. SGP:641 - 88 points.
