Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
full gold
air Nose
a little more discrete at first nosing, almost shy, which is unusual with old Longmorns. Takes off after a good two minutes, that is, slowly but continuously. First we have the same notes of lemon balm as in the ‘Castle’, then orangey notes that grow bigger and bigger, then mango, guavas, verbena, even a little muscat grape... All that is coated with wood smoke (or pine cones), mint and even a little eucalyptus, and the whole is probably less decadent than its siblings but just as beautiful on the nose. No water needed. Front and back label (or the other way round?)
restaurant Palate
it’s certainly not slow at the attack, rather punchy, orangey and spicy right at the first drops. A tad more ‘brutal’ than its bros at this stage but the general profile is very similar. A little more oak as well, but the rest is all on crystallised oranges, acacia honey, tangerines and kumquats. Let’s see what happens with a few drops of water: yes, that works, it got rounder, creamier, with added hints of ginger and salt
timer Finish
long, on the same kinds of note. Very salty tang in the aftertaste
