Nose:  grape juice and oak, very fruity

Palate:  Sherry, big grape notes but also a coastal, salty character which is a bit odd for a Longmorn.

Finish:  Sweet and spicy.

This first presents as a sherried malt but then those coastal, salty notes creep in, making this a really fabulous and fascinating whisky.  I kept coming back to it.

n:  Dense sherry

p:  White cake with icing.  Raisins on cedar.  Great.

A-/A 

n: old school, antique sherry cask. Boiled down cherry juice with dark vanilla bean. Moist christmas fruitcake full of black raisins and cloves.

t: powerful sherry soaked oak, savoury spices, and dried fruit (prunes and smokey cooked raisins). Middle is all musty oak but with a cherry sweetness enhanced by dry leaf tobacco. Finish has a tease of smoked sea salt. Very complex as the cask enhances the flavours but doesn't overpower it into a sherry bomb.

[A/A-, I could smell this all day as perfume; wonderful nose]
