History and origins of Glenmorangie distillery

Established in 1843 by William Matheson, a former distiller from the renowned Balblair house, Glenmorangie gets its name from the Gaelic phrase "Gleann MĂČr na SĂŹth," translating to "valley of tranquility." Tucked away on the banks of the Moray Firth Bay, it draws its clear and pure water from the Tarlogie Springs. From its inception, the distillery has held a significant place in Scotland's whisky landscape. Notably, it continuously innovates and challenges established norms, delivering whiskies of unparalleled quality.

Glenmorangie's manufacturing secrets

Stills unique in their kind

If Glenmorangie stands apart from other distilleries, it's largely due to its stills. Towering over 5 meters high, they're the tallest in Scotland. This unique feature yields an extremely pure whisky with unmatched finesse. Indeed, the taller the still, the more only the lightest and most volatile part of the distillate rises to its top, thus eliminating impurities.

The art of maturation: a Glenmorangie signature

Another cornerstone of Glenmorangie's success is its maturation expertise. The distillery pioneered the field by crafting whiskies matured in diverse cask types. Each year, they ambitiously undertake the creation of limited editions with fresh and original flavors. These intricate and surprising blends render Glenmorangie a true benchmark for whisky enthusiasts worldwide.
