Description
The Glenmorangie Claret Wood Finish is a rare and highly sought-after limited edition single malt Scotch whisky, notable for being one of Glenmorangie's earliest and most successful experiments with wine cask finishing.
This expression first appeared in 1990 and was one of the first wine-finished whiskies ever released by Glenmorangie, leading the way for their now-famous core range of wood finishes.

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.
