Glenmorangie
Dornoch a limited edition travel retail
exclusive expression.
 Dust
off your passport if you want to get
hold of this one as Glenmorangie has
announced the release of Glenmorangie
Dornoch a new limited edition bottling
which will be available exclusively in
travel retail from Wednesday 26th
November.
This unique expression was inspired by
the Distillery’s peaceful setting on the
banks of the Dornoch Firth in the
Scottish Highlands. To protect and
preserve the environmental importance of
this precious waterway Glenmorangie has
partnered with the Marine Conservation
Society to help raise money for the
society. A donation from the sale of
each bottle of Glenmorangie Dornoch will
be made to the Marine Conservation
Society to help sustain and protect this
beautiful estuary beside the Distillery
for future generations, as well as
helping to protect Scottish and UK seas
more widely.
Glenmorangie Dornoch is a unique
union of a classic Glenmorangie
spirit matured in ex-bourbon American
white oak which has been united with a
lightly peated Glenmorangie spirit that
has been extra matured in ex-Amontillado
sherry casks.
Already awarded a Gold Medal in The
Spirits Business Travel Retail Awards
the Glenmorangie Dornoch was bottled at 43% ABV, chill
filtered, it
will be available exclusively in World
Duty Free Group’s UK airport stores
(World of Whiskies) from 26th November at
an RRP of £59.99 and it will be
available in European travel retail
outlets from February 2015 at an RRP of
£69.00.
Dr Bill Lumsden, Director of Distilling
and Whisky Creation, commented:
"Glenmorangie Dornoch unites ex-bourbon
American white oak barrels reflecting
the distinctive vanilla and citrus
Glenmorangie house style with a lightly
peated Glenmorangie spirit that has been
extra matured in ex-Amontillado sherry
casks. The swirling under-current of
peat adds an unexpected dimension of
distant, smoky apples, complemented by
vibrant, sweet nutty flavours layered
upon the rich, warm toffee and dried
fruits. These balance to create a single
malt whisky that reflects the beautiful
setting in which Glenmorangie is
crafted."
Calum Duncan from the Marine
Conservation Society said: “This
partnership reflects Glenmorangie’s
commitment to helping to preserve the
natural heritage around the distillery
for future generations. We are thrilled
to be working with them to raise
awareness of the importance of our seas,
shores and wildlife. In particular, the
Dornoch Firth is a waterway of
outstanding natural beauty and an
internationally important special area
of conservation.”
David White, Marketing and Communication
Director at Glenmorangie, commented: “We
are delighted to offer this new
expression exclusively to travel retail
and to be supporting the Marine
Conservation Society. With Glenmorangie
Dornoch we are providing whisky
connoisseurs with a new Glenmorangie
expression and at the same time helping
to protect the environment around our
Highland home on the shores of the
Dornoch Firth.”
