LONGMORN - GLENLIVET (1894
Longmorn, Elgin, Morayshire. Licentiehouder: The Longmorn - Glenlivet Distilleries Ltd. Onderdeel van The Chivas & Glenlivet Group Ltd. Eigendom van Seagram.
John Duff, die in 1876 Glenlossie had gebouwd, samen met anderen, stichtte in 1894 Longmorn en zijn optimisme was zo groot in die hoogtij dagen van de whiskyboom, dat hij in 1897 Benriach ook nog bouwde.
Longmorn komt van Llanmorgund, wat land van de heilige man betekent. Het water en de turf komen van Mannoch Hill.
John Duff, die Glenlossie al eerder had verkocht, raakte in grote moeilijkheden en verkocht Longmorn aan James R. Grant, die werd opgevolgd door zijn zonen P.J.V. Grant en R.L. Grant.
De Grants van Longmorn en van Glen Grant werden in 1970 verenigd toen ze met Hill Thomson & Co, whiskyblenders te Edinburgh samen gingen met The Glenlivet & Glen Grant Distilleries Ltd.
In 1972 werd Longmorn uitgebreid van vier naar zes ketels.
In 1974 kwam het aantal ketels op acht.
In 1978 werd de groep overgenomen door Seagram.
De Mash tun is 7.56 ton.
De dertien Wash backs hebben een inhoud van elk 19.300 liter.
De vier Wash stills hebben elk een inhoud van 9700 liter, de vier Spirit stills elk 6500 liter en worden indirect met stoom verhit.
De capaciteit is liter spirit per jaar.
Longmorn derives its name from the Gaelic Lann Marnoch meaning Church of St. Marnoch. Maernanog was one of the missionaries who brought Christanity to the Picts of Moray.
After his death in 625 AD, the feast day of St. Marnoch was celebrated in many Scottish towns.
Over the centuries the name evolved and was anglicised to become Longmorn.
Established in 1894, the distillery nestles quietly a few hundred yards off the main Elgin to Rothes road. Extensive warehousing surrounds a traditional looking Victorian Distillery. The Manager's office looks onto the courtyard, with the production buildings a distinctive pagoda roof set in one corner with the still house visible in the other-forming the southern part. The northern side consists of cask warehouses with the easten side being enclosed by the now disused raiway line.
The appearance of the distillery has changed very little over the years. Although the railway sidings to where materials were transported and from where whisky was shipped south are gone, their existence is still evident on the landscape.
The doubling of capacity of the distillery in the 1970s was contained in the original buildings by reusing space freed after the floor malting operation stopped.
Longmorn was built at the height of the whisky-boom; the demand for single malts in blending seemed never-ending.
However the local newspaper noted the arrival of Longmorn with the following article:
'Still another distillery! Evidnetly the latest one announced for Longmorn is not the last that this district will see. There is much talk of 'still more to follow'. I wonder how many new distilleries have been erected, or are in the course of construction, or have been arranged for within the last three years, within the district known as the Glenlivet radius.
I have lost count. But to this must be joined the fact that at the same time the old and existing distilleries have been lengthening their stakes and widening their stills to an unprecedented extent, some of them doubling and trebling their former output. When is all this going to end'.
The journalist only had to wait five years to find out the answer to his question. In December 1898, the whisky industrie was rocked by the collapse of Pattison, Elder & Co, Ltd, whisky Blenders & Exporters, based in Leith. The fraudulent company had fuelled false demand for malt whisky causing huge over-production. On the collapse they left vast debts which crippled many small distilling companies.
Although the crash brought about the end of John Duff's control, the quality of Longmorn's whisky was already established.
According to The National Guardian in 1897, it 'jumped into favour with buyers from the earliest day on which it was offered' indeed Longmorn is one of only a few distilleries to have enjoyed continuous production.
Longmorn emplys a completely balanced production cycle. From the 8 tonnes of grist mashed in the traditional geared tun, a wash back is charged with 38.800 litres of wort. After fermentation is completed the wash is equally divided between the four wash stills. The four wash and four spirit stills work in tandem - the four batches of low wines are mixed with the previous four batches of foreshots and feints, which results in each spirit still being charged with 6.500 litres.
The stills, small with wide necks promote complexity and give weight to the spirit. The slower distillation time and relatively high-necked stills give elegance and balance. It is this consistency and quality that not only makes Longmorn a Blender's favourite but also a 1st Class Single Malt.
