Longmorn distillery was founded in 1893 by whisky entrepreneur John Duff and is located south of Elgin in the Speyside whisky region. The distillery has contributed its rich and fruity spirit to a wide range of blended Scotch whiskies, with much of its production still destined for blends today.
In 1920, Masataka Taketsuru, later founder of Nikka and a pioneer of Japanese whisky, spent time working at Longmorn, highlighting the distillery's influence on the development of whisky beyond Scotland.
Eight thick-necked stills help produce a spirit with depth and structure. Notes of ripe orchard fruit and creamy sweetness are supported by a weighty mouthfeel. We value Longmorn for its enduring legacy and consistently high quality spirit. The naturally rich style provides an excellent foundation for long maturation in both bourbon and sherry casks.
