Distillery Information

The Glenmorangie distillery was established in 1843, on the Dornoch Firth by brothers William and John Matheson. The site originally held a farm distillery under the name Morangie. There is evidence that distillation was carried out at this site during the early 18th century. Production began in November of 1849. During the latter part of the 19th century, Glenmorangie began overseas exportation and destinations included Europe and the United States. Such was the dependence on foreign trade that the distillery closed in 1931 following the enactment of US Prohibition and the Great Depression. Glenmorangie remained closed until November of 1936. Macdonald and Muir Ltd, who purchased Glenmorangie over the early part of the 19th century, put Glenmorangie Plc up for sale. Glenmorangie Plc included the distilleries Ardbeg, Glen Moray and Glenmorangie and, after frenzied bidding, the group was acquired by Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessey for £300 million. Glenmorangie were pioneers in the field of wood finishes. Delectable examples include the Sauternes-finished Nectar D’Or and the Côte De Beaune-finished twelve year-old. 2008 saw a rather unusual release; Glenmorangie’s Signet. Glenmorangie Signet is a single malt whisky distilled from chocolate malt and has a delightful flavour. Glenmorangie’s range is large and features a number of finished whiskies as well as the more traditional core expressions, like the cherished Glenmorangie 10. In 2009, four more stills were added to the Glenmorangie distillery along with a larger mash tun and extra washbacks. Clearly, that wasn’t enough, as in July 2018, construction began on a new stillhouse which will create space to house two more stills, as well as another building to house another two washbacks.
