Identity
Glenmorangie single malt whisky has been produced at the Glenmorangie Distillery in the Scottish Highlands since 1843. Considered a pioneer in its field, the Scottish House has become famous for combining tradition and innovation to create the finest whiskies, described as “unnecessarily well made”. To achieve this quality, Glenmorangie Scotch whisky is produced with a unique distillation process that uses the tallest stills in Scotland. Expertly matured in only the finest oak casks, the resulting single malt is testament to the savoir-faire that has been passed down from generation to generation by a team of expert craftsmen known as the “Men of Tain”. As well as being Scotland’s favourite malt whisky, since 2007 Glenmorangie has won more gold outstanding medals at the IWSC, the international competition that rewards the best wines and spirits, than any other single malt Scotch whisky, therefore making Glenmorangie the “best awarded” single malt.
Icon
Glenmorangie's logo is inspired by the Hilton of Cadboll Stone, which was erected near the distillery site in the eighth century. The central seal, the “Signet”, is thought to symbolise the Pictish belief in the interconnectivity of earth, fire and water. For Glenmorangie, it represents the refined complexity of its whiskies.
Insights
“ Though a bio-chemist by training, I believe it takes both art and science to craft the finest whiskies and I regularly travel the world seeking inspiration for future expressions of Glenmorangie. I am passionate about all areas of whisky making, but especially the importance of wood management, sourcing casks from intriguing vineyards around the world to complement the extra maturation of Glenmorangie which bring new and unique characteristics all of their own.”

- @markwebb77 Hi Mark, these look 15 to 20 years old to us and it appears that they're leaking, which would explain the liquid loss.
- @MaltMusings Sharing our deepest condolences to you and your family, we're so sorry for your loss.
