Glenmorangie - Original - 10 yrs

After 17 years of learning his craft, William Matheson left a local distillery and founded the Glenmorangie Distillery in the Scottish Highlands in 1843. He set himself apart and put history in motion by creating an exceptional single malt at a time when others were focused on blends. The smooth yet complex whisky he created was inspired by the distillery’s peaceful surroundings on the banks of the Dornoch Firth. His legacy continues 174 years later.

In 1887, Glenmorangie renovated the Glenmorangie distillery, installing several technical innovations, including the tallest stills in Scotland in order to achieve a purer, smoother whisky. To this day, their stills remain the tallest in all of Scotland.The height of the stills allows only the very purest vapors make it to the top, creating a smoother, more elegant whisky.

Glenmorangie has been an industry leader in researching the ways in which wood impacts whisky maturation, blazing a trail on truly exceptional cask-finished whisky. While other distilleries might use the same casks as many as six times, Glenmorangie’s practice has evolved to use casks only twice in order to retain the fullest flavor for a whisky of exceptional depth and complexity.
