Dram Review: SMWS 7.159 Longmorn “From Tree to Tarte Tatin”

[52.6%・24 Years Old・ Bottled in 2016 ・SMWS Bottling・Single Cask Release of 234 Bottles]

Nose:

A sense of wholesome goodness from the freshly heated up legit diner apple pie, fresh strawberries seasoned with aged lemon flakes. Aged Sherry in the works with a hint of mushroom umami to keep things classy and stately.

Palate & Finish:

Apple juice, with Maraschino cherries, polite though with just a pinch of cinnamon. A real balance from the Sherry oak influence with just a hint of pineapples.

Maple syrup brushed on ripe red apple flesh, a certain chewiness that adds to the sense of being fulfilled..

Thoughts:

Juice box for the considerate adults, for me growing up it’s Just Juice.. and when you think about it that’s kind of endearing..

☆☆ [Highly Recommended]
