About Longmorn Distillery:

Longmorn Distillery is a Scottish single malt whisky distillery located in Speyside, one of Scotland’s most significant whisky regions. Situated in the Moray area near Elgin, it has long been among the distilleries prized by connoisseurs for its rich, sweetly fruity, and elegant style of whisky.

The distillery was founded by John Duff together with his partners George Thomson and Charles Shirres. Production began in 1894, and Longmorn quickly earned a very good reputation among whisky merchants. The official Chivas Brothers archive notes that the press of the time was already writing about Longmorn as early as 1897 as a whisky that had rapidly won over buyers.

The name Longmorn is often associated with the Gaelic term Lhanmorgund, meaning “place of the holy man,” as the distillery is said to have been built on the site of an old chapel. This historical detail adds a distinctive story to the brand and fits the image of a traditional Scottish distillery with deep roots in Speyside.

Today, Longmorn is part of the portfolio of Chivas Brothers, which belongs to the Pernod Ricard group. The distillery thus remains connected to the world of premium Scotch whisky, and its spirit is used for both single malt releases and select blends.
