A Mackillop's Choice bottling of Longmorn single malt Scotch whisky, distilled in September 1988 and bottled in September 2014. This handsome indie single cask bottling had an outturn of 263 bottles, presented at a cask strength of 50.1% ABV.
Unusual and interesting - an 'old book' library dust whisky with fromage notes. After a while more expected aromas of toffee and red fruits come through, with rocket leaf and almond.
Fruits get darker - blackcurrant, fig and prune, with cinnamon and more nuttiness too. Chocolate Digestive biscuit and poppy seed bread notes come through at the end.
Long and peppery, with a pleasing hint of blackcurrant jam on toast.
An atypical Longmorn - the joy of single cask whisky!
