Longmorn 1998 / 22 Year Old / Cask #46641 / Distillery Reserve Collection Speyside Whisky – Exceptional Age, Remarkable Value

Discover the character of mature Speyside whisky with this Longmorn 1998, a distinguished 22-year-old single cask bottling from the Distillery Reserve Collection. Presented at 51.5% ABV and bottled in a convenient 50cl format, it offers an excellent opportunity to enjoy a well-aged, richly flavoured whisky without the price often associated with larger or more prestigious releases.

Matured for more than two decades in a first-fill barrel, this Longmorn has had plenty of time to develop depth, balance, and personality. The result is a beautifully expressive whisky that combines bright citrus notes with soft sweetness, gentle richness, and a satisfying, full-bodied finish. With only one cask represented—Cask #46641—this bottling has a distinctive character that makes it especially appealing to whisky enthusiasts and collectors alike.

Why This Longmorn Deserves a Place in Your Collection

• 22 years of maturation: Extended ageing brings greater complexity, smoother texture, and layers of flavour.
• First-fill barrel influence: The whisky benefits from a cask that adds richness and helps shape its sweet, rounded profile.
• Distinctive single cask character: Cask #46641 offers an individual expression rather than a standardised blend of casks.
• Impressive strength: Bottled at 51.5% ABV, it delivers a generous flavour experience and can be enjoyed neat or with a small splash of water.
• Accessible 50cl size: The smaller bottle format makes this mature whisky a more approachable choice for personal enjoyment or gifting.
• Speyside elegance: Expect a refined balance of fruit, sweetness, and subtle richness typical of the region’s welcoming style.

A Layered and Inviting Tasting Experience

On the palate, Longmorn 1998 opens with lively notes of bergamot and candied citrus. These bright flavours bring a fresh, aromatic lift, while cocoa powder adds a deeper, gently bitter sweetness. Coconut husks contribute a lightly nutty, dry edge that keeps the whisky interesting and prevents the sweeter notes from becoming overwhelming.

The combination is both distinctive and easy to appreciate. It has enough depth to reward slow, thoughtful tasting, yet its familiar citrus and cocoa touches make it approachable for drinkers who are still exploring older single malts. At 22 years old, the whisky has developed a rounded, composed character while retaining the lively spirit that makes Speyside whisky so enjoyable.

Try it neat first to appreciate its natural balance. A few drops of water may soften the alcohol and reveal additional aromas, allowing the bergamot, cocoa, coconut, and citrus notes to shine in different ways. It can also be served alongside dark chocolate, citrus desserts, roasted nuts, or a selection of mature cheeses.

Premium Age Without an Excessive Price Tag

Older whisky does not always have to mean an unreachable price. This Longmorn offers a smart way to experience a 22-year-old distillery bottling in a compact format that provides excellent value. The 50cl bottle is ideal for enjoying at home, sharing during a special occasion, or giving as a thoughtful present without committing to the cost of a full-sized bottle.

Its age, single cask identity, distinctive flavour profile, and cask strength presentation make it a compelling purchase for anyone seeking something beyond an everyday dram. Whether you are building a collection, looking for a memorable gift, or simply want to enjoy a carefully matured Speyside whisky, this release delivers plenty of character for the investment.
