Longmorn 2009 / 16 Year Old / Barbadillo Oloroso Sherry / Gleann Mor Rare Find Speyside Whisky

Emily Thomas — Solid independent bottling

8/10

I've had a few Gleann Mor releases and this 16 year old Longmorn holds up nicely. The Barbadillo sherry influence gives it a rich toffee and raisin character without drowning out the distillery's fruity core. Good value at £93 for a cask strength single malt of this age.

Daniel Oyama — Good sherry cask, rough edges

7/10

I enjoy the rich fruity profile and the nose is genuinely lovely — raisins, caramel, hint of tobacco. On the palate though, the cask strength ABV can be a bit aggressive even with water. It settles after 20 minutes in the glass. Not bad at all but needs patience.

Olivia Park — Punches well above its price

9/10

Under a hundred quid for a 16 year old cask strength sherried Speyside? Yes please. The Barbadillo oloroso cask has done wonderful things here — fig jam, leather, and a long spicy finish. My bottle is disappearing far too quickly.

Ruth Banks — Great sherried Speysider

8/10

Longmorn doesn't get enough love as a distillery and this bottling shows why it should. Nose is all orange peel and marzipan, taste brings in dark treacle and walnut. I keep reaching for this one over bottles that cost twice as much.

Finn OBrien — Reliable Gleann Mor pick

8/10

I grabbed this on a whim not knowing much about Longmorn and I'm glad I did. Classic sherried malt — dried apricot, cinnamon, dark honey — nothing revolutionary but everything is well integrated. At 16 years old and natural strength for £93 it feels fairly priced. Would happily buy another.

Samir Patel — Sherry bomb done right

9/10

This Longmorn is exactly what I want from an oloroso cask finish — big dried fruit, Christmas cake, and a lovely nuttiness on the nose. At 55.6% it carries the heat well, just a gentle warmth rather than a burn. Sipped neat after dinner and it kept revealing new layers for a good hour. Seriously impressed.

Maxwell Green — Nice but not mind-blowing

7/10

Pleasant enough dram with the classic sherry notes — dark chocolate, stewed plums, a bit of oak spice. I added a few drops of water to tame the 55.6% and it opened up a bit. For the price I was hoping for something a little more complex though. It's good, just not exceptional.
