Information

Glenmorangie's copper stills are the tallest in Scotland, standing 16 feet 10 ¼ inches (5.14 metres) high. This ensures that only the purest, most delicate, vapours are condensed into spirit. The craftsmen responsible for producing Scotland's favourite malt whisky are affectionately known as "The Sixteen Men of Tain".
