Longmorn 24 Years Old 1996

Longmorn is a distillery that enjoys a cult fanbase today, mostly thanks to the well appreciated 16 year old that arrived in 2007, before being replaced in 2016. It’s sequel might be slightly more expensive and not as good, but the love around Longmorn still continues. Originally founded in 1893 by John Duff & Company, production followed in 1894, before John took full ownership of the distillery. His undoing is building a distillery next door (Benriach) just before a crash in consumer demand and confidence. Forcing him to sell the company which today is owned by Pernod Ricard. Much of Longmorn goes into the Chivas blends, but since the capacity was increased in 2012, this allowed Pernod to refresh and increase the Longmorn range in 2019. Hopefully, we’ll be seeing more of this classy Speyside distillery in the coming years.
