This single cask bottling of a 21-year-old single malt whisky from the Longmorn distillery was produced under the World of Orchids label by Jack Wiebers, with the label designed by Jack himself. The whisky was distilled in 1992, matured in an ex-bourbon cask and was bottled in 126 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.
