Dram of the Month
August 2006
Longmorn is widely available in the States and
much under apprieciated. An
impressive malt in the fruity style.
Longmorn was built right next to the
Benriach Distillery in 1894. The
distillery was expanded twice in
1972 and 1974 and currently operates
8 stills. Longmorn gets its name
from the
church
of St. Marnoch and one of its
warehouses sit on the site of an old
ancient Church. It’s amazing that
this whisky is not well know in the
US since its malty, sweet complexity
is very appealing. If your start
getting into single malts, it won’t
be long before you discover Longmorn.
