Glenlivet & Longmorn New Arrivals From Edencroft!

Longmorn / 1967 Gordon & Macphail Rare Vintage

Summary: Longmorn Distillery is found between Glen of Rothes and Elgin. Its name is derived from the Gaelic, Lhanmorgund, which means "place of the holy man". This is a reference to the church which once stood there. Prior to the distillery being built in 1897, there had also been a grain mill on the site. R.J.S. McDowell considered Longmorn to be one of the top four malt whiskies.
