Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
잔을 가까이 하면 1955년에 증류된 롱몬의 반세기 너머 향이 노즈에서 고요하게 드러난다. 25년을 보낸 이 코너스어 초이스는 40도의 낮은 도수에서도 잘 익은 복숭아와 꿀, 마른 꽃의 향을 명확하게 발전시킨다. 팰럿은 부드럽게 흐르며 보리 맥아의 단맛과 바닐라, 가벼운 향신료가 또렷한 구조를 이룬다. 긴 피니시에는 흰 꽃과 꿀의 은은한 단맛이 오래 남는다.

air Nose
not one of these very fruity old Longmorns, rather a dry sherried one, starting with a lot of dark chocolate and various roasted nuts and developing more on a great combination of dried herbs (parsley, mint) and bacon. Also whiffs of fresh mushrooms and maybe just a pinhead’s worth of balsamico. Actually very complex, keeps developing for a long time, towards even more mushroomy notes and, at last, a few fruits (dried bananas and pineapples) that make it resemble a very old rum. Great
restaurant Palate
great indeed, amazing how this one is alive and kicking at just 40% and after +/-30 years in wood plus +/-20 years in glass. Superb blend of chocolate (both milk and bitter), prunes, maybe Armagnac (did the people at Ryst-Dupeyron’s dope it with a few litres of 19th century Bas-Armagnac?), just a little soy sauce and hundreds of dried fruits. And so drinkable!
timer Finish
amazingly long given the strength, a classic. Beautiful dry spiciness
