The word "Glenmorangie" means "quiet valley" in Scottish Gaelic, and the leisurely and meticulous brewing process at Glenmorangie Distillery also confirms this meaning. The Glenmorangie distillery is equipped with eight pot stills, four of which are 12,500 liter wash stills and the other four are 8,000 liter spirit stills. The winery is made by a team led by Dr Bill Lumsden, affectionately known as The Men of Tain. The people of Tyne would draw water from the Tarlogie Spring above Glenmorangie. The rich mineral content of Tarlogie Spring gives Glenmorangie whiskey its distinctive flavor. In addition, Glenmorangie has the tallest still in Scotland, which is 7.9 meters high. Only the purest steam can reach the top of the still and flow back along the neck, so the distilled liquor tastes very smooth. It is worth mentioning that the oak barrels used for aging Glenmorangie whiskey are all custom-made and made from the distillery’s own oak grown in the forests of the Ozark Mountains in the United States. The distillery will first let the new barrels sit idle for two years, then lend them to Jack Daniel's and Heaven Hill for aging Bourbon Whiskey. Glenmorangie then uses these oak barrels to age its own whiskey. In addition to being aged in Bourbon Cask, some Glenmorangie wines also need to be transferred to Port Cask, Sherry Cask or French Sauternes Cask. , for more flavor. Glenmorangie has a total of 14 earthen warehouses where oak barrels are placed, which is one of the reasons why Glenmorangie whiskey has a unique flavor. In addition, Glenmorangie distillery does not bottle independently, and the bottling of whiskey is handled by professional bottling plants.
