LONGROW 10 Year Old Official Nectar for Belgium 57%
#ロングロウ(LONGROW)
Because it was bottled for Belgium? It had a slightly unusual atmosphere.
LONGROW LONGROW 10yo OB for The Nectar Belgium 57%
The aroma had plums, orange jam, milk chocolate and milk tea, savory seafood stock, mineral notes, a slightly damp and strong peat.
When drinking it, the flavor spreads richly with some bite, citrusy milk chocolate, a rich sweetness and savory seafood stock umami, still milky, solidly mineral with briny notes, a long finish with strong peat.

LONGROW 10 Year Old Cask Strength. This is an official bottling for The Nectar in Belgium.
Now, this 10 Year Old Cask itself is out of stock, and details about the cask are unknown, but this Nectar bottling appears to be from 2009.
In both aroma and flavor, there were nuances suggesting it was a refill sherry cask, with a smooth milky nuance accompanying the diverse elements of concentrated fruits, chocolate and tea.
When thinking about milky seafood, oysters are often referred to as the 'milk of the sea,' and now I remember that among malt enthusiasts, those who love LONGROW often mention a oyster-like nuance in it.
Of course, the peatiness is also clearly present, and it matches well with the house style plus some extra elements, making this a delicious malt.
