Longmorn Single Malt Scotch 18 Year Whiskey

Longmorn 18 Year Old is a rare Speyside single malt from one of the region’s most prestigious but relatively obscure distilleries — Longmorn in Elgin, founded in 1894, and for most of its history contributing almost exclusively to blends including Chivas Regal, where it has been the principal malt whisky for decades.

Longmorn is one of the most respected distilleries in Speyside among blending professionals — its full-bodied, rich, and complex spirit is considered among the finest raw materials for premium blending. Independent bottlings and official releases of Longmorn as a single malt are relatively rare, making the 18-year expression a notable opportunity to taste a distillery that usually only appears in blends.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Longmorn rarely seen as a single malt?

Most Longmorn production goes to Chivas Brothers (Pernod Ricard) for use as the principal malt in Chivas Regal and other premium blended Scotch expressions. As a result, single malt releases are limited and relatively scarce — the distillery is far better known to blending professionals than to the general whisky-buying public.

Is Longmorn 18 Year worth seeking out?

Yes — for enthusiasts who want to taste what makes Chivas Regal distinctive, Longmorn 18-year single malt provides that direct experience. The full-bodied, rich character that makes it prized for blending also makes it impressive as a standalone single malt.
