GLENMORANGIE
Single Malt Scotch Whisky
|

Converted
from the Morangie Brewery. Rebuilt in 1887 and agin in 1979 when
the number of stills were increased from two to four.
One
of the smallest distilleries which has for years been the best selling
malt in the UK, and third in the world. A noted feature of the distillery
is that the stills have very tall necks, at 16ft10ins.

spicy. In younger ages, an aperitif; in older ages, after dinner".
