Matheson’s whisky was named after the peaceful land he loved. In Gaelic, the ancient language of Scotland, ‘Glenmorangie’ means ‘Valley of Tranquility’. By virtue of the way it is made, all whisky is inherently linked to the land, but Glenmorangie is perhaps rooted more deeply than any other, being tightly woven into the long, rich history of our native Ross-shire.

Fast forward almost two centuries and our whisky has come a long way.  From inventing our legendary Glenmorangie Original to pioneering advanced cask management techniques, we have continuously pushed the boundaries of what is possible in whisky-making. Perhaps our most famous innovation being our towering copper stills which stand proud as the tallest in Scotland at 5.14 metres (the same height as a giraffe!) creating a more delicate spirit, ripe for experimentation.

One of the secrets to our craft lies in our unique Tarlogie Springs. These natural springs are unusually rich in minerals giving our whiskies a distinctive fruitiness and deliciously smooth finish. To keep this water pure, we own and protect the entire forest that surrounds our source.

Hundreds of years’ worth of expert craftsmanship is poured into every drop of whisky we make. Wood plays a major part in this, and we’re proud of our sustainable wood policy and innovative wood-management approaches. Our team carefully craft the most prized casks for our spirit to come alive in.
