Longmorn – 1987-2020 33 Year Old Gordon & MacPhail Connoisseurs Choice Single Cask 5725 (70cl, 51%)

This is a single cask Speyside malt from Longmorn, distilled in 1987 and bottled in 2020 at 33 years old by Gordon & MacPhail. It forms part of their Connoisseurs Choice Cask Strength range and comes in a 70cl bottle. It matured in a single refill American hogshead, which gave 196 bottles at a natural cask strength of 51%. It is bottled without colouring or chill filtration. The nose combines pineapple and citrus with a hint of rich vanilla. On the palate, warming chilli spice sits alongside malted cereal and roasted nuts, and the finish is medium with sweet caramel.
