Production Process
Malting
5–7 daysBarley is soaked in water, allowed to germinate, then dried in a kiln. Peat may be used for smoky character.
Mashing
6–8 hoursThe malted barley is ground into grist and mixed with hot water in a mash tun to extract fermentable sugars.
Fermentation
48–120 hoursThe sugary wort is transferred to washbacks (wooden or steel) where yeast converts sugars to alcohol.
Distillation
6–8 hours × 2The wash is distilled twice (or thrice) in copper pot stills. The still shape profoundly influences the spirit's character.
Maturation
3–50+ yearsNew make spirit enters oak casks — ex-bourbon, sherry, wine or virgin oak — and matures in the warehouse.
Bottling
Final stageAfter reaching optimal maturity, the whisky is vatted or bottled as single cask, diluted to strength and packaged.
The Story of Glenmorangie
Glenmorangie houses the tallest stills in Scotland, standing at 5.14 metres, which produce an exceptionally smooth and elegant spirit. The distillery pioneered wood finishing techniques in the 1990s, maturing whisky in ex-wine and spirit casks. Its 'Men of Tain' are the 16 skilled craftsmen who oversee production.
