We don't see much in the way of independently bottled Longmorn, which is a shame because it is lovely whisky. After Diageo's failed attempt at line pricing Mortlach with Macallan, Chivas Bros. for some reason saw fit to try copying said bad idea with Longmorn... So we were stoked when this one came around!
Producer Description: "Our third batch from the Longmorn distillery is a 10 Year Old, a release of just 1,793 bottles at 48.3% abv."
About the Label (Larger Label Under the Tasting Note)
"The label simply references the workable steam engine that you can find at the Longmorn distillery. This steam engine was running up until 1979 Its stills were coal fired right up until 1993 too!"
0 mlAndrew's Tasting Note
Nose: a bit cheesy... Avonlee cheddar perhaps? chocolate smores, burnt orange peels and old fashioned glazed doughnuts; malty and a touch meaty with a tinge of spice and floral top notes.
Palate: round, rich, floral and coating, a touch meaty, and more Avonlee cheddar; chocolate smores, old fashioned doughnut and moving in to a bit of Dutch licorice and coffee beans; rose petals, dried fruits and lush vanilla.
Finish: long, coating and fruity; there is a decadence coming from the wood balancing the fruity, meaty spirit.
Comment: this one grows on you, and reminds me more of the G&M Longmorns than the distillery bottlings; definitely a touch of sherry casks in the mix.
Producer Tasting Note
Nose: Chocolate orange and buttered brioche.
Palate: Rich and full bodied with raisins, stewed fruits and butterscotch.
Finish: Buttery, velvety mouthfeel, lasting warming finish.
That Boutique-y Whisky Company (TBWC) is part of the Atom Group, which also owns the UK retailer Master of Malt and a number of other subsidiaries. They are a dynamic and innovative firm, who by example invented the Whisky Advent Calendar concept. Established in 2012, TBWC is famous for its playful and colourful labels, which often feature prominent whisky industry figures, tell a story, and or elude to an inside joke. The labels are typically laced with hidden elements and "Easter Eggs."
TBWC bottles whiskies from around the world, though the bulk of their offerings are of Scottish origin. Most of their offerings are small-batch releases, Blended Malts, and Blends. Their "Head of Whisky" is Canadian Sam Simmons.
We are big fans of not only their whimsical labels but also the consistently high standard of liquid they bottle.

Rare find, indeed. In fact, we didn't even realize this was available until it was pointed out to us. This 22-year-old Longmorn was distilled in 1999 and bottled in 2012 from Refill Bourbon Barrel No. 80036.
Natural colour, non-chill filtered, and bottled at 54.3% abv.
