Whisky Focus - Glenmorangie House Final Whisky Weekend Of 2015

Glenmorangie House boutique hotel announces the final Whisky Weekend of 2015.

Glenmorangie House, the boutique hotel operated by the Glenmorangie Company, has announced the final date for its 2015 series of whisky weekends on the 20th and 21st of November.

This may appeal to any whisky lover who perhaps fancies spoiling themselves and their wife/husband/partner to a very nice pre-Christmas weekend break. These whisky weekends have often been hailed as the pinnacle of a whisky lover’s calendar, the Weekends are a perfect way to be introduced to whisky, its history and heritage, all enjoyed in the luxurious surroundings of Glenmorangie House.

A special part of the weekend will be a tasting of Glenmorangie ‘A Midwinter Night’s Dram’, a outstanding new UK only limited edition single malt whisky, crafted by Dr Bill Lumsden, Director of Whisky Distilling & Creation at Glenmorangie.

This whisky is inspired by the long held tradition where The Men of Tain were treated with a special whisky in the festive season created by the Master Distiller as a thank you for their role in the creation of Glenmorangie. This gift was shared by the Men of Tain with friends and family from St Andrew’s Day to Christmas to Burns Night.

There is a full programme of events over this whisky weekend including a visit to the Cadboll Stone which was the inspiration for the Signet logo that you see on all Glenmorangie products.
