One For the Road

The Longmorn latest expressions are more than just a celebration of their 130 years in the business - they are a commitment to finer details, and the things that matter.

Not many whisky distilleries can claim to possess a sense of history the same way Longmorn does — the Speyside distillery is one of the few in Scotland that has ceaselessly produced whisky for a considerable period. In this case, 130 years. During that time, the distillery established itself as one possessing a pioneering, ambitious spirit. Its founder, the entrepreneurial John Duff, incorporated the railway — which was considered an innovation at the time — to export the distillery’s whisky. The distillery has also enjoyed influence around the world, with Masataka Taketsuru going on to become the founding father of Japanese whisky following an apprenticeship at Longmorn.
