Glenmorangie Whisky

History and Origins

Glenmorangie (“valley of tranquillity in Scots Gaelic) is a renowned single malt Scotch whisky brand from the serene highlands of Tarlogie Springs in Ross-shire, Scotland. It was established in 1843 by William Matheson and his wife Anne.

The distillery is popular for having the tallest stills in Scotland and has been in the exact place it was founded, effortlessly upholding a legacy of crafting exquisite whiskies, each echoing the spirit of its beloved Highland home.

What is Glenmorangie known for?

This brand is celebrated worldwide for its unparalleled silkiness, richness, and beautiful complexity. The distillery crafts about 10 million bottles annually and is known to be one of the best-selling Scottish single malts. Their whiskies are a well-poised blend of fruity and colourful floral notes, making them a favorite among novices and connoisseurs.

Glenmorangie, renowned for its intricate whiskies, attributes its hallmark character to the meticulous use of only the finest oak casks during maturation. These casks are utilized a maximum of twice, ensuring the extraction of optimal flavor and contributing to a well-rounded finish, whereas other distilleries might reuse them up to six times.

Glenmorangie pioneered the craft of extra-maturation, incorporating innovative wood finishes like Madeira, Port, and Sherry to craft ingenious expressions. Among its acclaimed offerings are the Original, Lasanta, Quinta Ruban, and Nectar D’Or, not to mention the limited edition Glenmorangie Grand Vintage series.
