Longmorn 30 yo (43%, Gordon & MacPhail, +/- 2009)
Colour: pale amber. Nose: does this one stand the course after the fab 25yo? Yes indeed, it’s far from being ridiculous. The fruity notes are of the same kind albeit less demonstrative, the chocolaty ones are well here, the spices are a tad bigger (cinnamon, nutmeg) and there’s an added meatiness (ham) as well as a little mint. Perfect, soft yet expressive. Mouth: it’s not as easy to pass after the 25yo as on the nose, as the oak’s dryness is much more obvious here. Quite some tea, cinnamon and nutmeg. The fruits are well behind that woodiness, with some oranges, quinces and apples. Chlorophyll, cloves. Finish: medium long, fruitier now, as if the fruits won the fight against the oak. Gingered oranges, white pepper, dried ginger. Comments: great nose but the palate was more in trouble after the Centenary bottling. Maybe I should try this 30 again in the foreseeable future, and oppose it to an easier competitor.
SGP:561 - 88 points.
AROMA without water: Pronounced Sherry notes, with a hint of rich Christmas cake.
TASTE without water: Sweet and smooth, retains a sherried edge. Some rum and raisin influences.
AROMA with water: Becomes fresher, remains sherried. Stewed fruit notes linger.
TASTE with water: Creamy and rich, some fruitiness develops and a hint of sweetness.
