Glenmorangie The Lighthouse 12 years old

Dr Bill Lumsden went to the former CEO of Glenmorangie, Marc Hoellinger, six or seven years ago, and was playing a little bit of a game with him. He said, “Mark, I’m bored, I need a new challenge, I want to do something else. Off the top of my head, if you give me £25 million I will go and build a completely new malt whisky distillery, and I guarantee you I will make spirit even better in quality than Glenmorangie”. Quite a statement?! And along came the Lighthouse Distillery! Located on the site of Glenmorangie, The Lighthouse is a 20-metre-high glass still house, designed for innovation and experimentation rather than yield. To celebrate the opening of The Lighthouse, Glenmorangie created this limited edition whisky: Glenmorangie Lighthouse. The whisky combines liquid matured in Bourbon and Sherry casks, whose staves now adorn the walls of The Lighthouse. There are ONLY 4782 bottles of this available worldwide.
