Anyone can take part by logging on to www.glenmorangie.com/caskmasters Last year Glenmorangie was crowned Distiller of the Year at the IWSC Awards, and this initiative is a new way of interacting with the brand’s enthusiasts.Whisky fans from across the world will help develop a new type of Glenmorangie single malt, to be released in late 2014. In order to speed up the process Glenmorangie has pre-selected three whiskies that are nearing the end of their maturation at their Highland distillery. But it’s up to fans to register their opinions online and determine the outcome of the new whisky.The programme is being overseen by Glenmorangie’s award winning arbiter of taste, Dr Bill Lumsden.Dr Bill Lumsden, Director of Distilling and Whisky Creation at the Glenmorangie Company explained: “For years we have listened to fans and their views and noted reactions to the whiskies we have introduced.“Now it’s their turn to have a go and I hope as many whisky aficionados as possible will be able to join in and enjoy each stage of this exciting journey…who knows where we will end up!”

Current casks available for your choice in step 1 are : Grand Cru Burgundy , Grand Cru Bordeaux and Manzanilla.
