Longmorn 12 year Speyside Single Malt 58% – Lady of the Glen

Longmorn 12 year from Lady of the Glen is an intense and characterful Speyside single malt whisky. This Rare Cask bottling is bottled at full cask strength of 58%. The result is a powerful whisky with great depth and complexity. Only 326 bottles have been released, making this edition particularly interesting for collectors and whisky enthusiasts.

Longmorn is known as one of Speyside’s most respected distilleries. The style is often rich, fruity and slightly toffee-like. The distillate has a natural sweetness that makes it ideal for maturation in sherry casks. In this bottling, the whisky is first aged in a refill butt. Here it develops its basic structure and classic character.

The whisky is then finished in a first-fill ex-Pedro Ximénez hogshead for six months. The PX cask adds rich notes of dried fruit, dark sweetness and warm spices. This short but intense finish adds depth without overpowering the distillery’s own style.

The combination of Longmorn’s fruity distillate and the sweet PX finish creates an elegant and balanced whisky. The flavor moves between dried fruit, coffee and spicy sweetness. The high alcohol content gives a concentrated and rich experience in the glass.

The whisky is bottled without cold filtration and without added color. This preserves all the natural aromas and oils in the distillate. A few drops of water can open up layers of fruit, spice and chocolate. The result is a whisky that develops beautifully in the glass.

Lady of the Glen is known for small and carefully selected bottlings. The series highlights the natural character of the whisky and the importance of the cask. This Longmorn 12 year is a great example of that philosophy. This is a Speyside single malt with elegance, power and complexity.
