Longmorn 18 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Longmorn · Longmorn Distillery
Longmorn has long been one of Speyside's best-kept secrets, prized by blenders for its rich, oily distillate. This 18-year-old expression showcases why — it's a whisky of genuine depth and generosity. At 48% ABV without chill filtration, it delivers texture that many more expensive bottles struggle to match.
Nose
Rich toffee and baked apple open confidently, followed by honey-glazed almonds and a velvety malt sweetness. A subtle floral note — almost rosewater — lingers beneath the fruit.
Palate
Full-bodied and luscious, with waves of dried fruit, butterscotch, and clove spice. The oak presence is well integrated, lending structure without bitterness. A hint of dark chocolate emerges on the second sip.
Finish
Long and warming, with lingering honey, soft oak tannins, and a clean malt echo.

Built in 1894 near Elgin, Longmorn Distillery has quietly produced some of Speyside's richest, most sought-after malt, historically prized more by blenders than the public until recent official single malt releases brought its quality into the spotlight.
