Longmorn 1991 34 Year Old, Finn Thomson Cask #54956

It is now 3 years since Finn Thomson was able to relaunch the family business and begin a new chapter of the Thomson whisky story.

Finn thomson will always remember the the launch event where they tasted all 8 of their inaugural releases but one of the most memorable drams was actually provided by his Grandfather. As a personal toast, his Grandad Michael cracked open one of his original bottles of Beneagles blended whisky. With twinking eyes, he let them into some of the key components of the closely guarded recipe - along with North British grain and Macallan malt, a crucial ingredient was a lesser-known Speyside Distillery... Longmorn.

According to his Grandfather, Longmorn's reliable fruitiness was central to the success of Beneagles and, for that reason, their collection treasures a number of Longmorn casks. This particular cask is a perfect example of what makes Longmorn so special.

Thirty-four years of ageing in a combination of PX sherry and an ex bourbon cask have created a perfect harmony of flavours. That trademark Longmorn fruitiness that his Grandfather coveted so much is elevated bt the sweetness of the PX sherry cask and it is a wonderful reminder of what made Beneagles such a popular whisky of its time.
