For many years Longmorn in Speyside was the distillery that many malt fans seemed to herald as a hidden gem and treated it as some kind of precious secret, one to be guarded closely and spoken of in hushed whispers lest it become too popular. 

Times are changed somewhat these days, and many people now recognise Longmorn for what it is: the purveyor of some of the most stunningly lush and fruity Speyside single malt whisky ever produced. Longmorn is rightly lauded as one of the great distilleries in Scotland, a distillery that has spewed forth a vast quantity of wonderful, vibrant and intensely flavoursome whisky in the course of its lifetime.

Longmorn remains a whisky of great finesse with a quality head and shoulders above many of its contemporaries. While the greatest examples will always be from the old sixties and seventies stock, there is still great single malt whisky being made at Longmorn and it is hard to imagine a time when it will not be an absolute gem of a distillery.
