A part of the Chivas Brothers group (now owned by Pernod Ricard), Longmorn has long been a favourite of the cognoscenti, but until recently was a very well-kept secret. Long classed as a blender's favourite, Longmorn was little-seen as a single malt in the days of Seagram's ownership of Chivas, with the then-standard issue 15yo left in the shadow of sister distilleries such as Glenlivet, Aberlour and Glen Grant. Nowadays, however, things are slightly different.
