The alchemy of whisky creation is a truly passionate business. Whilst we’ve always believed Glenmorangie produces outstanding whiskies, to have such high votes for us in a blind tasting is a fantastic accolade.
“The Glenmorangie journey is one of rich experience and intense devotion to the art of whisky creation. It is heartening to see our energy and expertise being acknowledged worldwide.
“Gaining so many gold and silver medals for the Glenmorangie range at such a prestigious competition is one of the most wonderful independent reflections of Glenmorangie’s quality we could possibly have.”
