Nose: Yes! This is how an old Longmorn should present itself! A deep and satisfying candy store sweetness - lots of mild fruitiness and various variants on vanilla and sugar. Candle wax, apple wax and a touch of diesel oil. More apples - red and green. Hints of oak and dust. A delight.

Taste: Very rich and waxy mouthfeel. Full-on fruitiness, and mild spices.

Finish: Medium to long finish. The waxy apples are back. Notes of something dirty(?) or earthy, but it works a charm.

Comments: This is candy for grown-ups.
