This bottling of a blended malt called Long John Special Reserve was produced by Long John Distilleries Glasgow for the Italian market and was probably imported to Italy by Stock S.p.A. Trieste in the early 1970s.
Long John is the name of a Scottish blend. The brand goes back to John Macdonald, who was given the nickname 'Long' because of his height. He was the founder of the Ben Nevis distillery on Scotland's highest mountain. The blend is said to contain more than 30 malts and is a Scottish classic.
Scotland and Scotch whisky is a global trend, a development that has led to a flourishing whisky scene in Scotland. There is hardly a week that goes by in which there is no news about another new distillery being built or the reopening of a distillery that has been closed for a long time.
Scotland, together with Ireland, is today considered the motherland of whisky, whose roots there go back to around 1500 AD.
