Longmorn Strictly Limited 8 Year Old

Longmorn 8 Year Old Strictly Limited is an independently bottled single malt distilled at the renowned Longmorn Distillery in Elgin, Speyside, and selected by Morrison Scotch Whisky Distillers for their acclaimed Càrn Mòr "Strictly Limited" series. Longmorn’s heavy, viscous spirit—traditionally revered as a cornerstone blending malt by blenders worldwide—is showcased here in a vibrant, youth-forward presentation. Matured for 8 years in carefully selected oak casks (typically featuring fresh refill or first-fill bourbon or seasoned European oak finishing casks depending on the specific batch outturn), this expression is bottled at 47.5% ABV without chill filtration or artificial colouring. The resulting whisky marries Longmorn’s naturally rich, oily, and malty texture with bright orchard fruits, floral sweetness, creamy vanilla toffee, and clean, tingling wood spices.

Food Pairing: Pairs well with lemon-glazed roast chicken, seared scallops with herb butter, creamy goat cheese crostini, classic Scottish shortbread, or apple crumble with vanilla custard.

Tasting Notes: A lively, oily, and fruit-forward single malt featuring notes of crisp green apples, poached pears, honeyed barley, vanilla fudge, and gentle wood spice.

Nose: Fresh and expressive with aromas of juicy green pears, lemon zest, sweet malty biscuits, wildflower honey, creamy vanilla pod, and a hint of white blossom.

Palate: Rich, viscous, and coating on the palate, revealing flavours of orchard fruit compote, barley sugar, buttery shortbread, vanilla custard, and gentle white pepper spice.

Finish: Medium to long, clean, and crisp with lingering notes of sweet malt, citrus peel, drying oak tannins, and soft herbal sweetness.

Serve: Enjoy neat in a Glencairn glass or copita, or add a few drops of chilled spring water to elevate the aromatic orchard fruits and soften the vibrant spice.
