Bottle #ロングモーン(LONGMORN)
A unique, intoxicating nuance. Perhaps it has the essence of 1968. Longmorn LONGMORN 1968-2003 SCOTT'S for U.S.A. 61.3% The aroma is lavish, diverse, and intensely fruity, with notes of old white wine, plums, pears, peaches, passion fruit, dragon fruit, vanilla, and a touch of buttery oil. Upon tasting, it expands from a smooth mouthfeel into an intensely fruity profile with pears, peaches, white wine, passion fruit, and a slightly perfumed, luxurious nuance of vanilla. A rich sweetness lingers with an intoxicatingly long finish. 【Very Good, Interesting】 This Longmorn 1968 was bottled by Scott's for the U.S. market, aged approximately 35 years. As described above, it explodes with a diverse fruity profile that includes grape-like notes reminiscent of old white wine and tropical sensations from passion fruit. This is characteristic of the 1960s Longmorn casks, which are not overly sherried but more straightforward. However, the presence of a slightly perfumed, elegant flavor was also impressive. This element was also noticeable in the 1968 whisky at the whiskey fair, which I found intriguing. Initially, I thought it was unique to that bottle, but its presence in this vintage suggests it might be a characteristic flavor of the 1968 era. Personally, I found this distinctive flavor to be entirely positive, and I thoroughly enjoyed the intoxicating experience of this whisky. #Longmorn (LONGMORN)
