Founded near Elgin in 1893, Longmorn is the trade's worst-kept secret, a distiller's distillery hoarded by blenders for a spirit of uncommon richness: oily, waxy, brimming with orchard and stone fruit. It rarely appears under its own name, which makes an independent cask feel like being let in on something. Pernod Ricard's.
