Since its foundation, Kingsbury Wine & Spirits Co. has been committed to sourcing and bottling non-chill-filtered single malt Scotch whiskies, all of which have been selected primarily for the Japanese market by owner Katsuhiko Tanaka with assistance from Springbank distillery’s Gordon Wright.

In its early years, Kingsbury’s whiskies appeared under a variety of different label designs, with some featuring the Eaglesome name – a subsidiary of Springbank owner J&A Mitchell that oversaw Kingsbury’s bottling.

Following a redesign, Kingsbury’s labels now adopt a more consistent, stenciled format across three main series: Cask Strength (aka Kingsbury Gold), Limited Edition (aka Kingsbury Silver), and The Selection.

This Speyside gem shows beautiful candied lemon and barley sugar character, with that slightly waxy texture that marks quality Longmorn spirit. The nose develops lovely lemon sherbet notes with some funky old-school character that adds real personality. On the palate, it's sweet and viscous with chewy marzipan and almond flavours that create a dessert-like richness. Longmorn's known for this honeyed, nutty profile, and this 13-year-old expression captures it perfectly without any rough edges.
