Alcohol has been produced on the site the Glenmorangie Distillery now sits as far back as the middle ages, with documented evidence dating it back to 1738 when a brewery was built at Morangie Farm, sharing the farm’s Tarlogie Spring water source. Nearly 100 years later, in 1843, William Matheson purchased the farm and created the Glenmorangie Distillery. In 1918 its largest customer, Macdonald and Muir, purchased the distillery and would go on to control the company for the next 86 years.
