Since 1843, Glenmorangie distillery has been producing
its famous malt here on the shores of the Dornoch Firth.
Though the complex of buildings has seen many changes
over the years, Glenmorangie is still handcrafted to this
day by the Sixteen Men of Tain using tried and tested
methods that have been passed down from generation to
generation.
In the 1990s additional stills were added to the still
house to keep up with worldwide demand for Glenmorangie
Single Malt. Then, in 2002, we introduced two more fermentation
vessels (washbacks) as demand continued to increase.
Although we make more malt
whisky than we used to, the Distillery continues to maintain
the tradition of only employing Sixteen Men, who work
around the clock, all year round, only stopping each year
for Christmas and essential maintenance. By only ever
employing Sixteen Men we ensure that our distillery remains
one of the most traditional in the Highlands
