Comments:

It's been a long time since I had a Longmorn, and a while since I've had the sadly discontinued 15 yo. This one had a lovely, dark, syrupy colour - something that promises sherry, fruit and thick smooth whisky. Well, 2 out of 3 isn't bad I suppose. Surprisingly minty too, with a delicious chilli hit in the finish.

Verdict:

I like this.
