This single malt from Glenallachie was distilled in 2016 and treated to an eight-year maturation in a single refill hogshead before bottling in 2025. A total of 410 bottles join the Provenance collection from independent bottler Douglas Laing.
Nose: Charcoal, chocolate and spice. Deep smouldering charred peat notes layered with a wash of maritime brine. Sweet and citrusy; vanilla, lemon zest and butterscotch. A hint of cinnamon spice, plums and dates draws you in and invites you to take a sip.
Palate: A roar of intense peaty characters which tingle and warms the palette, intermingled with notes of roasted cocoa beans and bitter dark chocolate. As the rich phenolic characters subside, a tangy fruitiness comes to the fore with the introduction of blackberry, plum, and gooseberry notes with indulgent characters of a crème brûlée.
Finish: Long-lasting and drying, with elongated notes of iodine, leather and sooty chimney smoke
Nose: Sweet and rich, with fruity aromas suggesting baked apple, pear and peach. These are soon joined by a rich caramel note, reminiscent of sweet butterscotch. All these aromas are mellow, round and mouth-watering.
Mouth: Firm and full-bodied, richly fruity from the start, the powerful, fresh taste soon becomes deliciously sweet and salty, with a hint of salt amid the spicy intensity.
Finish: Quite long, it finishes smoothly, dry, slightly spicy and slightly refreshing.
Nez : Le Longmorn Distiller's Choice offre des arômes subtils de fruits mûrs, de miel et de vanille, avec une touche légèrement florale.
Bouche : En bouche, ce single malt de la région de Speyside révèle des notes de fruits frais, de céréales et de caramel, avec une sensation crémeuse et équilibrée.
Finish : La finale est longue et douce, laissant en bouche des notes persistantes de fruits et de miel, avec une légère pointe d'épices.
Nose: Subtle aromas of ripe fruit, honey and vanilla. Mouth: A creamy texture with notes of dried fruit, spice and oak. Finish: A long, warm finish with hints of caramel and toasted hazelnuts.
Nose: Through orange chocolate and crème brûlee comes perfume and spice — rose petals, lilac, and carnation, chased by cumin, saffron, and nutmeg. Add water, and delicate fruits and a fresh menthol breeze sneak out.
Palate: Ginger, black pepper, and mint are followed by toffee, demerara sugar, and sugar-coated almonds. Then comes that eucalyptus lift with marmalade and dark chocolate in the backdrop.
Finish: The finish lingers with clove, leather, and peppermint, leaving your tongue humming like it’s been on a spice-market bar crawl.
