The Glenmorangie distillery was established in 1843 on the Dornoch Firth by brothers William and John Matheson. Production began in November of 1849. During the latter part of the 19th century Glenmorangie began overseas exportation and destinations included Europe and the United States.

Such was the dependence on foreign trade that the distillery closed in 1931 following the enactment of US Prohibition and the Great Depression. The distillery remained closed until November of 1936. Macdonald and Muir Ltd, who purchased the company over the early part of the 19th century, put Glenmorangie Plc up for sale. Glenmorangie Plc included the distilleries Ardbeg, Glen Moray and Glenmorangie and, after frenzied bidding, the group was acquired by Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessey.

To some extent, Glenmorangie were pioneers in the field of wood finishes. Delectable examples include the Sauternes-finished Nectar D’Or and the Côte De Beaune-finished twelve year-old. 2008 saw a rather unusual release; Glenmorangie’s Signet. Signet is a single malt whisky distilled from chocolate malt and has a delightful flavour. The range is large and features a number of finished whiskies as well as the more traditional core expressions, like the cherished Glenmorangie 10.

Compass Room | Thursday 11 March

The history of Orin Swift Cellars dates back to 1995 when on a lark, David Swift Phinney took a friend up on an offer and went to Florence, Italy to spend a semester “studying”. During that time, he was introduced to wine, how it was made, and got hooked. A few more years of university led to graduation and eventually a job at Robert Mondavi Winery in 1997 as a temporary harvest worker. Deciding that if he was going to work this hard, it would eventually have to be for himself, he founded Orin Swift Cellars in 1998; Orin is his father’s middle name and Swift is his mother’s maiden name. With two tons of zinfandel and not much else, he spent the next decade making wine for others as well as himself and grew the brand to what it is today.

Compass Room | Thursday 25 March

Côte d’Or means Golden Slope. The Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune are called Côte d’Or together and are historically considered the most important regions in Burgundy.

The Côte de Nuits is “famous for Pinot Noir”. The wines show classic full-bodied Burgundy notes of black currant, cherry, fresh red fruits, and earthy mushroom and spice. Offerings in the Premier Cru category can be good buys, as well and perfect for special occasions.

The Côte de Beaune is ‘known for rich Chardonnay’ – named after the medieval village that is the heart of wine commerce in Burgundy – the wine from this region is quite different from that of its neighbour, Côte de Nuits, to the north. The whites are filled with aromas of soft white flowers, dried grasses, fresh apple and pear, and sometimes a touch of hazelnut. There are many amazing red wines too, with flavours of plum, cherrystone, white tobacco, and that Burgundian signature of earthy minerality and good acidity.
