In 1843 a former brewery was converted into a distillery by William Matheson, who effectively sanctioned the birth of the Glenmorangie Distillery. Located in the North Highlands region, therefore in the northern part of Scotland that extends towards the North Sea, the Glenmorangie has faced numerous vicissitudes over the years. Currently, with 16 employees, a number that has been superstitiously kept unchanged for 150 years, the Glenmorangie, which is not surprisingly called the “16 man distillery”, continues to produce prestigious and high quality Whiskeys. Using stills over five meters high, very pure distillates are born, which are left to mature in special barrels, previously used for aging Sauternes, Sherry, Pedro Ximenez, SuperTuscan and Porto. Exceptional whiskeys, renowned and unanimously appreciated by all the most demanding lovers of the category.
Address:
Glenmorangie Distillery, Tain, Ross-shire, IV19 1PZ, Highlands, Scotland
Color: Brilliant gold
Bouquet: Notes of citrus and ripe peaches are balanced by the softness of vanilla
Taste: Vanilla emerges, then gives way to an explosion of floral fruit. The surprisingly lingering finish is full of almonds, coconut and a touch of maple syrup.
