Despite being owned by blenders, MacDonald & Muir, for most of the 20th century, Glenmorangie had an early focus on bottling its single malt. Some records show that its single malt was being sold as early as the late 19th century. This became the distillery’s main output in 1959, and with the unique flavours derived from Scotland’s tallest stills, coupled with their pioneering use of wood finishing, Glenmorangie is now one of the world’s biggest selling malts. As a result, the distillery portfolio over the years has been extensive, and little has been spared for independent bottlers.

This is an older bottling of the best-selling 10 year old. Proof that you don’t fix what isn’t broken, the packaging barely changed for nearly four decades before being rebranded as The Original in the relaunch of the core range in 2007.
