Information
Scotland, Northern Highlands. Distillery operational. Owners: LVMH, Diageo
Selling all of its shares (52% of the Glenmorangie PLC group) to the leading international luxury goods brand LVMH in 2004, the Macdonald family brought to an end over 80 years of work to develop the distillery and its brand.Like the distilleries that managed to maintain their independence throughout the 20th century, Glenmorangie was a true pioneer for many. Whether for the release of its malt in the 1920s, for producing bottlings upon request across the world, for doubling its production capacity in the middle of the crisis (1980) or for launching a research programme looking into oak and its properties (Wood Finishes), Glenmorangie has always benefited from its owners long-term vision and sharp business acumen. In October 2004, The Glenmorangie swapped its tweed jacket and corduroy trousers for a bespoke three-piece suit. Decked out in its new attire, it entered the world of private collections, revealing an authentic, haute couture malt.
A Highland single malt released in 2006 by the Glenmorangie distillery, matured in American white oak casks. The oak trees were selected by Dr Bill Lumsden from the Ozark Mountain forests (Missouri, USA) for their special properties (slow growing in the shadow of mountain slopes), then left to dry in the open air for at least 2 years. The casks were then turned into hogsheads and entrusted to a bourbon producer, before being transferred to the distillery for filling. Bottle equipped with a cork stopper and black foil seal.
