About Longmorn Distillery
Longmorn distillery, located in Longmorn, Moray, is a single malt Scotch whisky distillery founded in 1893 by John Duff, Charles Shirres, and George Thomson. Production began in December 1894. After financial difficulties due to the collapse of Pattison, Elder and Co. in 1898, ownership changed hands multiple times.
In 1970, Longmorn merged with The Glenlivet and Glen Grant to form The Glenlivet Distillers Ltd, which was acquired by Chivas Brothers in 1978 and then by Pernod Ricard in 2001.
The Longmorn 16-year expression has received high praise, earning silver medals at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition in 2008 and 2009 and a “90-95” rating from Wine Enthusiast in 2009.

Longmorn is a renowned distillery located in Scotland with a rich heritage in producing fine whiskies. The rarity and quality of their products makes them desirable to collectors and enthusiasts, only increasing their value over time.
Whisky typically gains value as it ages and matures in the cask. The longer it remains in the cask, the more it has the potential to develop complexity and depth of flavors. We offer cask purchase programs that allow you to select the type of cask and aging duration, providing you with control over the maturation process.
Buying a cask allows you to own a unique piece of Bladnoch’s Kirkcowan Spirit production and a part of Bladnoch’s history. As the availability of aged and limited-edition whiskies decreases over time, the scarcity of these bottles can drive up their value.
Whisky has experienced growing popularity worldwide, particularly with the rise of collectors and investors seeking alternative assets. If the demand for premium Scotch whisky remains strong or continues to increase, it could positively impact the investment potential of your Kirkcowan Spirit (Bladnoch) cask. Recently we have seen the price of a standard bottle of Bladnoch rise from £40 to £80.
