Exclusive to World Duty Free Group in travel retail and in celebration of the distillery’s Highland home comes Glenmorangie’s latest award-winning expression, Glenmorangie Dornoch.

 

Travellers will find the limited edition single malt in all World Duty Free and World of Whiskies stores from 26 November 2014 until 30 January 2015, at a RRP of £59.99. It will also feature as ‘Malt of the Month’ during December on WDFG’s dedicated World of Whiskies website.

 

Gaelic for ‘The Glen of Tranquility’, Glenmorangie’s Dornoch expression is inspired by the distillery’s peaceful setting on the banks of the Dornoch Firth in the Scottish Highlands. It has already been awarded a Gold medal in The Spirits Business 2014 Travel Retail Awards.

 

Dr Bill Lumsden, Director of Distilling and Whisky Creation, says, “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 undercurrent 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.”

 

To protect the environmental importance of its provenance, Glenmorangie has formed a partnership with the Marine Conservation Society and a donation from each bottle of Glenmorangie Dornoch sold in the travel retail sector will be made to the Society to help sustain and protect the estuary on which the distillery sits.

 

Calum Duncan, Programme Manager, Scotland for 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.”

 

Following the exclusive launch period with WDFG, distribution will then be extended across other European travel retail outlets from February 2015.
