Longmorn 1968-2025 | 56 Year Old Gordon & MacPhail Connoisseurs Choice Single Cask 5833

Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky 
Bottled by: Gordon & MacPhail 70cl / 54.3%

A single cask Longmorn 1968 56-year-old Speyside single malt whisky released in 2025 by indie bottlers Gordon & MacPhail as a limited edition for the special prestige Connoisseurs Choice Retro Heritage series with the wonderful old style black and gold label and chunky utilitarian bright red font.

This 56-year-old Longmorn 1968 was bottled by G&M without colouring or chill filtration from single cask 5833, a first fill sherry butt cask that turned out 200 bottles at an incredibly impressive for its age natural cask strength of 54.3%. It's a thrill to know that Gordon & MacPhail still have some of these magnificent old 1960s Longmorn sherry casks sitting around at the Elgin warehouses, long may it continue.
