Operations didn't start in the distillery until 1849 and in 1887 the Glenmorangie Distillery Company Ltd was formed. In 1918 the distilleries biggest buyer and family run MacDonald & Muir purchased the distillery. In 1931 MacDonald & Muir were forced to mothball Glenmorangie due to the great depression in the US after the prohibition. By the mid 1930's the distillery did reopened and produce once again however was closed again in 1939 with the start of World War 2. The distillery again was brought back into operation after the war and was expanded in both 1980 & 1994.
