Legend has it that alcoholic beverages have been produced at the Glenmorangie distillery site since the Middle Ages. Officially, alcohol production began on the distillery site in 1738, when a brewery was built on the Morangie farm. The brewery's water source was shared with the farm. In 1843, William Matheson purchased a licence to produce whisky and, to convert the brewery into a distillery, he installed two second-hand gin stills. The distillery took the name of the Morangie farm, and the name Glenmorangie was registered as a trademark. Glenmorangie has been the best-selling single malt in the United Kingdom for many years. The distillery produces around 10 million bottles per year, of which 6 to 6.5 million are sold in the United Kingdom. Globally, Glenmorangie accounts for 6% of the single malt market share.
