![]() Finish: long, fruity, firm, with a bitterish grassiness in the aftertaste. Oranges, ale, Turkish delights, bergamots, apples and all that. Nose: ah this is very different again, this time there’s a mustiness, moss, mushrooms, some damp earth and sand, then cigars, grasses after the rain, then rhubarb and kiwis (yup, pretty green)… I quite love this! With water: relay lovely! More cigars, woods, incense, earth… Mouth (neat): it’s a really punchy one, with more depth than the others, more complexity, with cider apples, earth, drops of kirsch, cherries, some ale and a touch of pineapple (perhaps). Longmorn 28 yo (53.8%, Jack Wiebers, Wiebers Brothers, 120 bottles, 2013) Colour: full gold. Comments: very good for sure, but another one that could have been fruitier. With water: some earth coming through, also green oak. Goes on greener, leafier and, well, grassier. Mouth (neat): starts spicy and rather eau-de-vie-ish, with rawish notes of distillation (not quite feints) and plums and apples. Some beer, rather less medicinal notes, although hints of embrocations do remain. ![]() Nose: this time we’re having a rather milky and grassy one, with odd medicinal touches, antiseptic, bandages… Some camphor too, mint leaves… So it’s even more unusual than the previous one. More apples, more greenness, more raw malt. More lemons after a few minutes, more fruits. Goes on with muesli and quite some white pepper from the oak. Apples, pears, plums and such… Mouth (neat): starts malty, rooty and gingery, not really fruity, with a bready/yeasty side and then oranges. With water: becomes much more typical, more Longmorn, with a western fruit salad. That would be plain grass, then a little rhubarb and a little lime. Nose: typical, between cider, earth and tinned fruits at first nosing, then more grass and ‘light’ herbs. Longmorn 21 yo 1992 (52.5%, Jack Wiebers, Great Ocean Liners, bourbon, cask #110994) It seems that for Mr Wiebers, whisky’s only an excuse for displaying nice pictures of ships these days… Of course I’m joking. More Longmorn, hopefully more fruity bliss… ![]()
