Longmorn 18 Year Old 2023 Release Review
Hailing from Speyside, this expression is a remarkable example of Scotch in its purest form. Bottled at an assertive cask strength 57.6 percent ABV, the nose showcases seemingly endless depth, with aromas of dried lavender, old oak, baking spices, and blackberries. The palate packs a serious punch, but in a way that delivers much of the same pleasant characteristics found on the nose. The price and proof of this Scotch won’t work for every drinker, but we strongly recommend picking up a bottle if your palate (and wallet) can handle the heat.
