Longmorn 15 was a regular buy dram for me years ago. When the 16 was released the price shot up & then availability dwindled in my area. I haven't seen a bottle on the shelves near me in years.
The 16 is an old favorite, still have one left IIRC did a comparison to the 15 a while back and preferred it. I guess I need to get the 18 now 👍 Thanks for the excellent review.
Finished off my last 15yo a while back. Love the boldness of the 16yo. Back when independent bottler Scott's Selection was all over Texas I got a 36yo Longmorn-Glenlivet @ cask strength @ < $200 that was amazing. Will try to get this 18yo if your review didn't put a rush on inventory ;-) A shame so much gets wasted in mass produced blends.
Will you be doing a review on the longmorn 22? I saw that its priced at $420 where I'm at. Seems like righteous bucks, but i saw that it has a completely different flavor profile compared to the 18. Im debating currently, but just nit sure if i can do it hahaha.
So I don’t own one, but I have tried it side by side with the 18. It is better (slightly more tropical), but to me it’s not enough to justify the additional $150 over the 18 ($270 vs. $420). Cheers!
@@LiquorHound This is very true. Thank you for your insight, I really appreciate it. I'll probably go with the 18 then, I really wish they would have released a 25 year at that price point of the 22. Longmorn 16 is by far top 3, if not my favorite scotch I've got to try so far. Thank you for your time again.
Loved you bringing the old bottle into the mix!
Thank you! Cheers!
Love your videos my friend, thank you for putting all this work in for us, your experience is appreciated 🙌
Thank you! It’s appreciative people like yourself that keep me going. Cheers!
Right on! Cheers to you as well.
You’re just seeing it in the US- literally never seen it in UK! This bottle is news to me! Great video as always mate!
There’s also a cask strength 22 year old that just hit stores here. But at $475 for 4 additional years, I’m out. Thanks for the comment and cheers!
@@LiquorHoundUnderstandable 🤯

All true and just know that it’s not as tropical heavy as the old Scott’s, but you’ll still love it. Take care and cheers! 🥃
Might be a US exclusive or something, I can't seem to find it anywhere! It's not on whiskybase either. Too bad, sounds like it's right up my alley.
Nice review!
Glad you enjoyed it!
You can still find a couple bottles of the 15 at a UK retailer for $190.
Not a bad price! Thanks for the comment and cheers!
