Longmorn 16 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Stop number 58 on the SDT is Longmorn. This is my first from this lesser known Speyside refinery. Packaged at 48% ABV non chill separated and regular shade of golden gold. No issues up until now. Early introduction on the button is this will be thick and substantial. Dim sherry notes. Gritty mineral notes like wet stones on a sea shore this could be some light peat talking. Caramel apples and maple syrup. Sure feels like a sherry bomb to me. Pears plums and raisins. It goes somewhat sideways here with consumed oak charcoal and blurred smoke however these notes dont stick around excessively long. Somewhat mint and licorice and fennel. Wood tar cherry pie filling and saltine wafers. Nectar tea orange strip a little banana and a dash of new calfskin. This thing is everywhere and doesnt truly appear to be durable. A little water smooths it out while drawing out somewhat more pleasantness. A fairly hot appearance on the sense of taste from the higher ABV. Cinnamon apples and grape/cherry hack syrup. Marginally astringent. Dry oak green oak tannins and clove. Consumed toffee and caramel severe dull chocolate and dim sherry. Not as a very remarkable sherry bomb on the sense of taste as I was anticipating. Nectar plums cowhide and natural minerals and peat. No smoke to talk about. Water doesnt truly transform anything besides restrains the power. Medium-full bodied mouthfeel sleek however dry. A long completion. Dry oak sherry cherry hack syrup and somewhat harsh. This is an exceptionally odd Speysider. Senses that it would have come out of Campbeltown or an Island refinery. A peculiar blend of flavors and altogether different than the greater part of the scotch coming out of Speyside. Everywhere and confused. Is by all accounts confounded about what style it needs to be. Some great and some terrible yet for the most part great I presume. Its intricate just not firm the flavors dont all function admirably together. Some may adore this one some may loathe it. With respect to me 3.25. On account of @Telex for the example. Good wishes

Nectar and white chocolate. Contact of sugar coated natural product that opens up as it sits in the glass. A couple of drops of water brings marshmallow and the organic products front and center. Sensitive and mind blowing.
