The history of Glenmorangie

Glenmorangie started in 1824, when a wealthy landowner and gentleman called the Marquess of Ailsa, Colin Campbell, commissioned three Scottish settlers to come to his home, Barony of Glensand. Here, they set up a distillery, and in the process made history by being the first to produce single malt whisky. The name is a Gaelic word meaning "mirror lake," which is the property Glenmorangie was built on.

Over the following two decades, the distillery was expanded, and began to specialize in single malt whisky. However, by 1875, as the profits began to diminish, the distillery was abandoned.

Luckily, it was reopened by three people — two employees and an assistant distiller — in 1981. Today, it's one of Scotland's most acclaimed and recognized distilleries.

What determines the price of a bottle of Scotch?

When it comes to Scotch, the prices depend on many factors. Chief among these is where you buy your bottle. Though the Scotch Whisky Association (SWA) sets the base price for each year's vintage, every scotch maker negotiates prices separately. Whisky drinkers who shop for a bottle in Nigeria often pay a premium.

However, you can still get a bottle for as low as $30 in Nigeria, thanks to local distributors. Perhaps the most prominent, and inexpensive, of these is Fortune Beverages. They are also known for their high-quality, trendy wines. Fortune Beverages offer every Scotch maker, and they typically cost half as much as the SWA-mandated prices.
