We’ve been sponsoring it under the various company brands; this year we are sponsoring under our Glenmorangie Whiskey Brand, which is distributed by Ansa McAL Trading Limited.

“Known for its exquisite range of whiskies, Glenmorangie offers a sensory journey from the delicate notes of the Original 12 Years Old to the rich complexities of the 18 Years Old Infinita.
