Longmorn Hogshead 24 yrs Speyside Cask Strength Signatory Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Description

A missionary named Maernanaog, or Mo-ernin-og, had brought Christianity to the Picts of Moray during the 7th Century. A church was built just outside of Elgin, following his death in 625AD and named LannMarnoch, the Church of St Marnoch. Over the course of time, the name ‘LannMarnoch’ gradually became Anglicised and eventually the area was known as Longmorn. Construction began on a distillery on the site in 1893 under John Duff and Company, founders of Glenlossie in 1876.
