Longmorn 16 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Longmorn · Longmorn Distillery
Longmorn has been a distiller's secret for decades, a Speyside that trades flash for substance. At 16 years, the distillery character—rich, honeyed, almost waxy—has fully absorbed its oak influence. This is Speyside at its most self-assured.
Nose
Warm honey and orchard fruit open into a deeper register of toasted almond and buttered pastry. A faint floral note—rosewater—emerges with time in the glass, alongside gentle vanilla.
Palate
Generous and textured, with layers of dried fruit, butterscotch, and malt that unfold sequentially rather than competing. There is a creamy mid-palate weight supported by subtle oak and a thread of dark cocoa.
Finish
Medium-long and warming, with honey and a light woody spice that fades into clean malt.
