Background
History
Legends tell that alcoholic beverages of one kind or another were produced in and around Tain since the Middle Ages. 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 at Balblair, William Matheson, acquired the farm in 1843 and converted the Morangie brewery to a distillery, equipped with two-second hand gin stills. The Macdonald family would retain control of the company for almost 90 years. Following the change of ownership, the Glenmorangie product line was rebranded to increase its appeal…
