Other reviews... This one is the ‘rookie’ within the series, albeit the eldest. Colour: full gold. Nose: this is a tad but quite curiously, it does not really smell older than its siblings but more expressive and rather fruitier. Truckloads of citrus fruits (more oranges and tangerines than lemons), other tropical fruits (mangos), soft spices (cardamom, Chinese anise) and herbs (coriander first here, also crushed sorrel). This one has lots to tell us and it’s beautiful and sexy. Mouth: sure there’s more oak than in the ‘youngsters’ here, hence maybe less freshness but it’s still wonderful whisky, that nobody would suspect of being almost 40 years of age. It’s jammier and more ‘candied’, but there’re still quite some fresh fruits (ripe pears, kiwis and bananas), besides a beautiful spiciness (aniseed, a little cinnamon). Finish: maybe the best part, long, deliciously fruity and candied. Grapefruits, vanilla fudge, coconut milk and cinnamon. Comments: great old Longmorn, may we add ‘as often’. Only problem: it’s much too drinkable. Again, ‘as often’. 91 points - whiskyfun.com
