There are whisky investors all around the world who have been adding whisky casks to their portfolios for a long time. Investing in high quality alcohol is a very attractive proposition due to historical returns of close to 13% per annum. In the past, whiskey investors were mostly wealthy private investors who were not deterred by the high barriers to entry. This is because not everyone has the necessary capital, contacts or time to acquire such an investment on their own. 
 
Whisky must be matured in a cask for at least three years before it can officially be called "whisky". Three years is not always the final figure, there are many whiskeys that are aged for 10, 12 or even 20 years before being bottled. 
 
Since whisky does not continue to mature after bottling, it is crucial to let it mature in the cask until the desired age is reached. 
 
For distilleries, this means that a lot of capital is tied up in whisky casks that sit around unused for years before the contents are bottled and sold. The tied-up capital could otherwise be used by the distillery for investments in research and development activities, facilities or marketing. 
 
Due to high demand, whisky is being bottled younger and younger. This means that we are already in possession of a scarce commodity. The scarcer the commodity, the higher the earnings potential.

Longmorn has quietly provided a sweet and deeply fruity component to a variety of blends since its inception. Its fermentation is long and distillation is carried out in eight thick-neck stills, resulting in a spirit that is weighty enough to age well in both ex-sherry and ex-bourbon. 
 
Longmorn was founded by one of the most interesting whisky entrepreneurs of the 19th century, John Duff. He was born in Aberchirder, worked in GlenDronach and, after designing nearby Glenlossie in 1876, went to South Africa to try to set up a whisky industry there. He failed (as most do) and went to the USA to try his luck. After another setback, he returned home and, undeterred, built Longmorn in 1893. Five years later he built another next door - Benriach. 
 
It was not an ideal time to build two new plants and in 1899 he was forced to sell to James Grant. Although Duff's business did not do well, his whisky was good, and by the early 20th century Longmorn was an award-winning malt used in a number of blends including VAT 69 and Dewar's. In 1920, the young Masataka Taketsuru, one of the fathers of Japanese whisky and founder of Nikka, worked at the distillery for a short time. The stills of the two Nikka distilleries are said to be modelled on the Longmorn stills. 
 
In 1970, the Grant family and blender Hill Thompson (who had a long relationship with Longmorn) merged with The Glenlivet &amp; Glen Grant Distilleries Ltd to form The Glenlivet Distilleries Ltd, which was bought out by Seagram in 1977 and became part of Chivas Brothers (without Glen Grant). In 2001, this construct was bought by Pernod Ricard.
