Glenmorangie comes from the Scots Gaelic Gleann mor na sithe which means 'valley of tranquillity', a perfect description of the peaceful setting near Tain.
Region: Highlands
Established: 1843
Water Source: Tarlogie Springs
The Glenmorangie distillery has been producing its famous single malt since 1843. The distillery is at Tain overlooking the Dornoch Firth. The distillery was built using a pair of very high second hand gin stills. The original shape of these high stills still remains today. In fact the refinement and quality of Glenmorangie whisky is partially due to these very high stills which are the highest stills in Scotland

The Original
Color: Lemon Gold
Aroma: Citrus, peach and vanila.
Taste: First, vanilla is detected then flowery fruitiness. Smooth and perfectly balanced
Finish: About a minute after tasting, a clean and salving aftertaste with hints of orange and peach. Sweetness left on the tongue
The Nectar D’or
Aroma: Citrus, vanilla, sultanas, dates, honey, coconut and nutmeg.
Taste: Ginger, nutmeg and toasted almonds bring a deep, warming taste interwoven with a syrupy lemon meringue and honeycomb middle. Lemony, creamy and sweet syrupy like honey. Silky and Sumptuous
Finish: Languid and sweet with lemon zest, vanilla cream and delicate hints of ginger and nutmeg
18 Years Old
Color: Honeyed Gold
Aroma: Rich, rounded and sweet with dried fruits and a complex floral fragrance. Hazelnut, exotic floral and honey.
Taste: Full and rounded flavor. Balanced between honey, malt and flowery scents. Dates and figs emerge in the background with a hint of wood smoke.
Finish: Lingering and enticing with subtle sweetness of dried fruits and nutty dryness of sherry.
