History of Glenmoragnie
Farmer William Matheson and his wife Anne founded the Glenmorangie Distillery near Tain in 1843. In 1918, the Macdonald and Muir company purchased the distillery. It remained in the hands of the Macdonald family until 2004, when they sold to French drinks firm,Β MoΓ«t Hennessy Louis Vuitton.
Glenmorangie is famous for its tall stills, the apparatus used to distill whisky. They are the tallest ones used in Scotland, with necks as tall as giraffes! The distillery says this creates more space for taste and aroma.
Today, Glenmorangie is a premium brand of whisky, known for its sweet, light and delicate flavour.
