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
