A 1996 vintage Longmorn from Duncan Taylor as part of the Octave series.
The range is finished in small sherry casks, in this case for 12 months, yielding 82 bottles in 2014.
Each bottle is presented as being '1 of 82,' this meaning it's one bottle of 82 released bottles from the cask.
This Longmorn Octave has a heavier, and sometimes a slightly smokey character that is often described and being more 'classically' Speyside. It's fairly complex, with a fair amount of fruit and chocolate notes as well as vanilla.
