About Glenmorangie

Near Tain, on the Dornoch Firth, William Matheson converted a brewery at Morangie Farm into a distillery in 1843, using a pair of second-hand gin stills. Their descendants, at more than eight metres, are the tallest stills in Scotland, and they give an exceptionally light, elegant spirit, citrus and floral, matured largely in casks made from the company's own Ozark oak. LVMH's.
