About this bottle
The Glenmorangie Port Wood Finish Miniature is a rare and discontinued collectible bottling of Highland single malt Scotch whisky. Originally released as part of Glenmorangie's pioneering wood expression series in the 1990s and 2000s, this 5cl (or occasionally 10cl) expression was matured in American oak bourbon casks before being finished in port pipes.

About the distillery
According to the Glenmorangie Company, the earliest record of the production of alcohol at Morangie Farm is dated 1703. In the 1730s a brewery was built on the site that shared the farm's water source, the Tarlogie Spring. A former distillery manager, William Matheson, acquired the farm in 1843 and converted the Morangie brewery to a distillery, equipped with two-second hand gin stills. He later renamed the distillery Glenmorangie.
The distillery was purchased by its main customer, the Leith firm Macdonald and Muir, in 1918. The Macdonald family would retain control of the company for almost 90 years.
