This bottling of a 23-year-old Longmorn single malt as an original bottling of the distillery was produced as a Double Cask Matured Special Edition Batch L03. The whisky matured in American oak barrels and hogsheads and was bottled in 2022 in individually numbered bottles.
In the immediate vicinity of Benriach, the distillery is located on the road between Elgin and Rothes. It was founded in 1894 by John Duff, and its name means Place of the Holy Man. It has been in continuous operation since it was built, and its whisky is the main ingredient in the Chivas Regal blend.
The Speyside lies in the north-east of the Highlands and is considered the centre of Scotland's whisky production. Around the towns of Elgin, Rothes, Keith and Dufftown there are more distilleries than anywhere else in Scotland, including big names such as Glenfarclas, Glenlivet, Macallan and many more.
Elegance and complexity are often cited as characteristic features of Speyside malts, but the variety of whiskies produced here is too great to speak of a single style.
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.
