Longmorn 15 Year Old Bottled 1980s 75cl

Could be distilled as early as 1965. Part of our ancient bottle collection.

Located in the whisky haven of Elgin, wedged between BenRiach and the Gordon & Macphail shop is Longmorn, a truly remarkable distillery that has always been a firm favourite of drinkers who want a tropical fruit explosion. While it was hoped that Pernod Ricard would make Longmorn more accessible when they purchased it the single malt expressions are still relatively limited. Longmore remains an extremely important part of Chivas Regal blends, mainly the 18year old and the Royal Salute 21year old. As a standalone product, Longmorn single malt from the 60’s and 70’s is a heavenly cherished whisky.

Longmorn is a popular Speyside distillery, and an essential component in many blends over the years. As such, much of its production is reserved for this purpose and although distillery bottlings first appeared in the 1980s, it was rarely seen before the 15 year old expression was relaunched in 1993. The distillery has long prominent on the independent scene however, and has cult following in Japan, perhaps in no small part to its connection with Nikka founder Masataka Taketsuru, who modelled the stills at Yoichi on those at Longmorn.

This 15 year old distillery bottling was first released in the 1980s, but was not distributed widely until 1993 when it was rebranded, subsequently becoming a fan favourite, and much missed since being discontinued in 2007.
