The story of Glenmorangie begins in 1843, when William Matheson converted a brewery in the town of Tain into a distillery. In 1887 the distillery was sold to the Glenmorangie Distillery Co. A pair of pot stills was purchased from John Taylor's gin distillery and their long-necked design is retained today, the stills are said to be the tallest in Scotland.

Records dating back to the late 19th century show that Glenmorangie was being sold in high-class London hotels, including the Savoy. After World War I, the company passed to Macdonald & Muir who used the malt to fill its blends such as Highland Queen. Macdonald & Muir would own Glenmorangie distillery until 2004.

Single malt bottlings became more popular in the 1960s and Glenmorangie became Scotland's best-selling malt, prompting an expansion from two to four stills in 1976.

Today the distillery is owned by LVMH.
