A limited edition dram for the travelling whisky connoisseur to celebrate the Distillery’s Highland home.

Glenmorangie is proud to present its latest award winning limited edition expression, Glenmorangie Dornoch.

This unique expression was inspired by the Distillery’s peaceful setting on the banks of the Dornoch Firth in the Scottish Highlands and is available exclusively in travel retail outlets around the world from Wednesday 26 November.

Dr Bill Lumsden, Director of Distilling and Whisky Creation, commented: “Glenmorangie Dornoch unites ex-bourbon American white oak barrels reflecting the distinctive vanilla and citrus Glenmorangie house style with a lightly peated Glenmorangie spirit that has been extra matured in ex-Amontillado sherry casks. The swirling under-current of peat adds an unexpected dimension of distant, smoky apples, complemented by vibrant, sweet nutty flavours layered upon the rich, warm toffee and dried fruits. These balance to create a single malt whisky that reflects the beautiful setting in which Glenmorangie is crafted.”

To protect the environmental importance of its provenance Glenmorangie has formed a partnership with the Marine Conservation Society. A donation from the sale of each bottle of Glenmorangie Dornoch will be made to the Marine Conservation Society to help sustain and protect this beautiful estuary beside the Distillery for future generations, as well as helping to protect Scottish and UK seas more widely.

Glenmorangie Dornoch has been awarded a Gold medal in The Spirits Business Travel retail awards.

Calum Duncan from the Marine Conservation Society said “This partnership reflects Glenmorangie’s commitment to helping to preserve the natural heritage around the distillery for future generations. We are thrilled to be working with them to raise awareness of the importance of our seas, shores and wildlife. In particular, the Dornoch Firth is a waterway of outstanding natural beauty and an internationally important special area of conservation.”

David White, Marketing and Communication Director at Glenmorangie, commented “We are delighted to offer this new expression exclusively to Travel Retail and to be supporting the Marine Conservation Society. With Glenmorangie Dornoch we are providing whisky connoisseurs with a new Glenmorangie expression and at the same time helping to protect the environment around our highland home on the shores of the Dornoch Firth.”
