Kurz über das Unternehmen
The luxury conglomerate LVMH (Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton) owns two iconic whisky brands: Glenmorangie (Highland, celebrated for cask innovation and wood finishes) and Ardbeg (Islay, with a devoted cult following for its intensely peated character).
Whisky in the LVMH portfolio
LVMH (through its Moët Hennessy division) buys only iconic distilleries and runs them as "Maisons" — high autonomy and an unlimited cask budget:
- Glenmorangie — Highlands, the tallest stills in Scotland; a pioneer of wine, port and sauternes cask finishing.
- Ardbeg — Islay, cult-smoky and peated; rescued and bought in 1997.
- Woodinville — a craft bourbon from Washington State.
- SirDavis — an American rye (a collaboration with Beyoncé) with a European sherry-cask finish.
