Whisky - Longrow 14YO 46%
A whisky note I took last night.
The Longrow malt is distilled at the Springbank distillery and is heavily peated. The traditional double distillation method is used and this particular expression is a mix of sherry and bourbon casqued spirit. I’m doing the 14 year old first as the younger 10 version is much peatyer.
Nose: milk chocolate and animal vomit. No its not my cup of tea but gets a little nicer with time. Hazel nuts? Metallic.
Pallett: chocolate and nuts. A whole nub bar in a glass. Something sweet puts me off a little but maybe I’m expecting too much? Smoke but not as much as I had expected.
Finnish: smoky and a little chemical with an off note.
Comment: I had looked forward to opening this but am disappointed. It is rather unusual and I’m afraid will not score too well with me. Too expensive for what it is.
Score: 63%
