    Glenmorangie Legends is the brand’s new Travel Retail Collection, each expression celebrating a legendary story of the lands that have been home to the Glenmorangie Distillery since 1843. Butterfly Cannon worked with the Glenmorangie team to identify the concept as well as designing the range’s packaging. Glenmorangie Duthac is the first expression to be launched into the collection and pays homage to the annual pilgrimage taken by King James IV to the shrine of St Duthac in Tain, the home of the Glenmorangie Distillery. Such a celebrated event that it is still known as The King’s Route today. The opulent design is wrapped in a metallic regal purple, a colour associated with royalty for centuries further accented with splashes of Glenmorangie gold. Jon Davies, creative director at Butterfly Cannon adds, “The project was a perfect challenge for us as we love storytelling. Identifying both the overall concept and individual Legend stories, bringing them all to life aesthetically in a consistent Glenmorangie way, whilst differentiating the range from the existing offer and from each other was the dream brief. We had to consider every detail of the design in terms of both graphic execution and individual print specification to ensure each expression had a distinct position within the range." To a selection of single malt aged in ex-bourbon casks, Dr Bill carefully married two parcels of spirit finished in casks representing the King's often contrasting nature. The first, appropriately finished in casks from 'the King of Sherries' - Pedro Ximenez, to add a layer of rich sweetness exemplifying the King's tempered diplomatic side. The second, finished in charred virgin oak casks, providing an intense, spicy side embodying the King's fiery, impulsive nature.

    Glenmorangie

    Situated on the outskirts of Tain in Ross-shire, Glenmorangie has enjoyed rapid success in recent times thanks to the patronage of Moet Hennessy, who acquired the distillery in 2004 for a sum of £300 million from the MacDonald family. Since then, there have been dramatic changes at the distillery and a makeover in terms of appearance including a new modern still house to expand capacity and a refreshing of the range. The new still building also includes fermentation and mashing, which raises the prospect of experimentation, or even a new mini-distillery under a different name. Led by Dr Bill Lumsden, Glenmorangie has pursued a range of cask finishes and no age statements to great success. The classic expression remains the 10 year old, but you’ll also see a variety of special editions and single casks. With the recent improvements, we can expect more from Glenmorangie in the coming years.
