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

Color: Honeyed

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.
