About Glenmorangie

“Glenmorangie distillery is a distillery in Tain, Ross-shire, Scotland, that produces single malt Scotch whisky.”From Wikipedia, CC BY-SA

The Scotch Malt Whisky Society bottles single casks under numeric codes rather than distillery names, so a label reading 125.403 means cask 403 from distillery 125. That distillery is Glenmorangie, in Highland. More on Glenmorangie at Wikipedia.
