Ownership has changed several times and the number of stills increased too, since then. Pernod Ricard bought it via their purchase of the Seagram company in 2001.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"text-decoration: none\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"text-decoration: none\"\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eDespite his good position within the whisky world in those days, John Duff was crippled by debts because of the great recession in the whisky industry at the end of the 19th century. He was forced to sell everything to pay his creditors.

The distillery doubled its production capacity in 1972 and again in 1974. The number of stills went from 4 to 8. Seagram purchased the distillery in 1977. Longmorn is one of the few distilleries who never stopped production, even getting through the grain shortages during WWII. A lot of the Longmorn capacity is sought after for blending which leaves not so much of this fine single malt to be bottled on its own. It’s most definitely worth a try if you haven’t tasted it before.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eThe distilleries belonging to \"The Chivas and Glenlivet Group\", part of Seagram.
