Glenmorangie Distillery: High-Density Racking

Optimising Maturation Storage at Glenmorangie Distillery

Glenmorangie, one of Scotland’s most renowned whisky distilleries, required a smarter storage solution to accommodate growing demand. Their traditional dunnage warehouses, while historically significant, were space-intensive and inefficient for large-scale maturation.

The Challenge: Expanding Storage Without Compromising Quality

With increasing global demand, Glenmorangie needed a storage system that would:

• Maximise capacity within newly constructed maturation warehouses
• Enhance efficiency in cask handling and accessibility
• Improve safety for workers managing whisky maturation

The Solution: High-Density Racking for Maximum Space Utilisation

Inspired by the success of Link51’s racking system at Macallan, Glenmorangie partnered with Link51 to design a bespoke storage solution. The system featured:

• 8-tier pallet racking, optimising space for over 4,360 sherry butts and 180 port pipes
• 40% space reduction compared to traditional dunnage warehouses
• Dedicated stairways and walkways for safe and efficient cask access

The Impact: Smarter Storage, Safer Operations

By integrating Link51’s high-density racking, Glenmorangie:

• Increased storage capacity without expanding the warehouse footprint
• Improved working conditions with safer, structured access to all casks
• Ensured a scalable, future-proof solution for growing whisky production
