About this Lady of The Glen whisky

Located just outside Elgin, Longmorn's whiskies are recognised as sweet and fruity with toffee notes. Matured in a butt and finished in a first fill Ex-Pedro Ximenez hogshead for six months by Lady Of The Glen to add layers of dried fruit and spice.

Highly prized by blenders and easy to see why, Longmorn distillery is rarely represented by . This sophisticated Speyside whisky lends itself well to active cask maturation and that’s exactly what Lady Of The Glen have done here. Matured for most of its life in a 2nd fill oloroso butt, Lady Of The Glen then transferred it to a fresh ex-PX hogshead to add sweetness and enhance the sherry character already present.
