Glenmorangie Dornoch is being launched in to the travel retail sector from November 26 in an exclusive deal with the World Duty Free Group before being released across the duty free sector.  

Dornoch is the latest expression from Dr Bill Lumsden, Glenmorangie's director of distilling and whisky creation, and is  inspired by the distillery's peaceful setting on the banks of the Dornoch Firth in the Scottish Highlands.  It will go on sale in all of WDFG's specialist World of Whiskies stores and its World Duty Free stores in all the 21 UK airports from which it operates, including Heathrow and Gatwick.

Dr Lumsden said: "Glenmorangie Dornoch unites ex-bourbon American white oak barrels reflecting the distinctive vanilla and citrus Glenmorangie house style with a lightly peated Glenmorangie spirit that has been extra matured in ex-Amontillado sherry casks. The swirling under-current of peat adds an unexpected dimension of distant, smoky apples, complemented by vibrant, sweet nutty flavours layered upon the rich, warm toffee and dried fruits. These balance to create a single malt whisky that reflects the beautiful setting in which Glenmorangie is crafted."

As part of the launch Glenmorangie has formed a partnership with the Marine Conservation Society with a donation from each bottle of Glenmorangie Dornoch being made to the society to help sustain and protect the Dornoch esturary for future generations.

Calum Duncan, programme manager for Scotland for the Marine Conservation Society said: "This partnership reflects Glenmorangie's commitment to helping to preserve the natural heritage around the distillery for future generations.  We are thrilled to be working with them to raise awareness of the importance of our seas, shores and wildlife."

Dornoch will have a RRP of £59.99 and after its exclusive deal with WDFG go on wider distribution across other European travel retail outlets from February 2015.
