Longmorn

Longmorn Distillery was established in 1893 just north of Fogwat and beside the Strathspey Railway which whisked its deep and sumptuous whisky south to the scotch blenders. Longmorn Distillery is a Speyside malt whisky distillery and is now equipped with eight stills. Although Longmorn Distillery does not have a visitor centre it often participates in the Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival when a few lucky visitors can tour the distillery. 

This single malt is rich and complex with dark chocolate, treacle, marzipan and aniseed aromas wrapped with a resinous, sherried character. The palate delivers sherry wood, mulled fruits and a subtle smoky edge.
