Longmorn
The Longmorn Distillery is an ancient Scottish distillery, founded in 1893 by John Duff, Charles Shirres, and George Thomson, all three with extensive experience in the industry, at various Scottish and international distilleries. The new company was born not far from the famous BenRiach distillery, with the desire to establish itself through quality Whisky. Following some crises and business difficulties, the Longmorn Distillery Company merged in the 1970s with Glenlivet. Thus, a new large-scale production hub was created, which in a few years was able to double the previous quantity of bottles. Recent history has seen the historic brands Longmorn and Glenlivet become part of the French group Pernot-Richard, a true international giant in the spirits world.
The Longmorn Distillery, despite the mergers and ownership changes that have characterized its recent history, has never lost its oldest traditions, based on a craft savoir-faire. Even today, within the walls, there are eight stills that offer a production capacity of over 3.5 million liters per year. Longmorn Whiskies have always been particularly appreciated for their high quality, derived from a selection of excellent malts and a distillation process carried out according to the best practices. The style of the distillery is a perfect expression of Speyside, with soft and elegant aromas, notes of malt, fruit, and slight spicy hints. They are perfect distillates for those who love the classic, enveloping taste, free from the strong peaty notes typical of Islay.
The Longmorn Distillery Company has always been appreciated for the undisputed quality of its Whiskies. Besides being marketed on their own, they were often sold to create prestigious Blended whiskies of very famous brands. These are Single Malts of excellent quality, capable of providing balance and harmony to blends or offering the pleasure of expressive purity. All raw materials are carefully selected: the malt comes from Maray and to lower the alcohol content at the end of distillation, pure water from Burnside is used.
