Longmorn (1996) Sherry Hogshead 12 YO @ 46%

History
Built in 1894-1895 outside Elgin, the distillery has a disused waterwheel and a workable steam engine.  Most of the equipment is very traditional.  First owned by Glenlivet Distillers Ltd, then amalgamated with Seagram, it is now owned by Chivas Brothers.
   
The Still Room was extended from six stills in 1972 to eight stills in 1974.  The name Longmorn comes from the Gaelic meaning "Place of the Holy Man".
