Glenmorangie Distillery & Co.

Glenmorangie has had many loyal team members over the years, but few men or women dedicated as much of their lives to the distillery as Gordon L Smart (1895-1972). Gordon was appointed distillery manager in 1920 after his father Alexander, the previous distillery manager, died. It was a position he would hold for a remarkable fifty years. His main workforce at the distillery, the so-called "16 Men of Tain", were also long-serving and provided a wealth of whiskey-making experience and time-honoured skills.

Today there are '24 Distillers of Tain' led by distillery manager Edward Thom, who in 2022 won Global Distillery Manager of the Year at the prestigious Icons of Whiskey Magazine Awards. Glenmorangie has continued to support and build strong relationships with its surrounding community, attracting many generations to craft its award-winning whiskeys over the years.
