There was drawn a mere 219 bottles from this bourbon hogshead. I usually like this series a lot, and I've always been found of Longmorn. A match made in heaven? The color is deep golden. It smells banana, creamy, vanilla, oaky, spicy, cinnamon, garlic, red onions, some dry hay and nice gin notes. The bottler actually suggests on the label, to add water to this, to "help release its FULL FLAVOUR". I'll try it neat first anyway.. The taste is on dry green herbs, green paprika, leeks, oregano, vanilla, very nice even without water. It's a pretty light and easy-drinking malt. Lets add some water. Now it turns sweeter, fuller, rum and raisin notes, heather, rich vanilla and banana notes, I must say this is a very decent 14yo, one of the better I've had to be fair. The finish is long on peppery and honey, a perfect finish on this rich whisky.
Longmorn, time go get some more: 9
