Description

Nose : The first hit is of dusty spices, sweet wood, fried banana, set honey, even some suede. Ripe soft, juicy, peachy fruits behind – runny toffee and cocoa butter.

Taste : Sweet and almost fizzy start: cinnamon, nutmeg. Then honeyed, almost mango like sweetness. Deepens into creme de mures

Finish : Cedar note, some mint leaf, then gingery spice on the long finish. Highly complex.

Longmorn has recently won two gold medals at the International Wine and Spirit Awards.
