Longmorn Berry Bros & Rudd The Auld And The Bold Single Cask #263 Whisky 14 Year Old · 2011 Vintage
In stock
The name Longmorn is said to derive from an old Scottish word meaning “place of the holy man”. Produced near Elgin, this malt whisky is highly respected for its smooth, complex character and heady bouquet.
A handsome dram, evocative of an older style of sherry-matured Scotches. The nose is redolent of polished antique wood, figs, and Medjool dates steeped in old Armagnac. Orange oil glints through the richness, lending lift to a palate layered with dark fruit compote, dusty cocoa powder, and the glow of well-seasoned oak. There's a nostalgic depth to this whisky, nothing ostentatious, just quiet confidence and balance.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Rich amber-gold with coppery undertones and a warm, honeyed glow.
Nose
Polished antique wood anchors the aroma, woven with lush figs and Medjool dates steeped in old Armagnac. A ribbon of orange oil glints through the richness, lifting the bouquet with quiet confidence and restrained sweetness. The nose hints at aged sherry influence, inviting slow, contemplative savoring.
Palate
On the palate, dark fruit compote unfolds with dusty cocoa powder and the warmth of well-seasoned oak. Orange oil glints through the richness, lending lift to a refined, lingering balance that speaks of quiet confidence and restraint.
Finish
An elegant, long finish that lingers with quiet confidence. Dark fruit compote threads with dusted cocoa, melting into well-seasoned oak. A lift of orange oil remains, adding a citrus glow as spice settles. Silky and balanced, the finish fades slowly to a warm, refined sweetness with a soft echo of Armagnac-aged maturity.
