The Grand Prix AFEX jury members announced yesterday the 2023 edition’s ten finalists at MIPIM. Our Glenmorangie Distillery extension, located in the Highlands, on the edge of the Dornoch Firth and delivered in September 2021, has been distinguished. This emblematic industrial site benefits from two new buildings embodying the Glenmorangie brand identity, between tradition and modernity. We have developed our project in an ethical environmental approach using local materials such as old oak casks, stones and slates. The biogas created by the distillation process constitutes a new source of energy for the site.
