To snag the bottle all you need do is:
1. “Like” Twist London on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/twistlondon
2. Send the answer to the fiendishly difficult question below by 23 March to: win@twistlondon.com
What does “Glenmorangie” mean in the gaelic language?
A search on wiki came up with several definitions so I covered all bases with my answer and got the following reply:
All of those answers we'll happily accept! We're following the lovely marketing folks at the distillery who set the question for us!
Good luck, and thanks for entering the competition...
This is what Wiki says:
Glenmorangie (pronounced with the stress on the second syllable: listen (help·info); the toponym is believed to derive from either Gaelic gleann mor na sith "vale of tranquillity" or gleann m!r innse "vale of big meadows")
The translation of "Glen of Tranquillity" implied by Glenmorangie commercials is derived from the similarly sounding gleann mor na sith "great valley of peace"; at least this was the explanation given in reaction to a 2003 complaint to the Scottish Advertising Standards Authority about the alleged mistranslation

From the Glenmorangie website here:

Our brand name Glenmorangie comes from the Scots Gaelic Gleann mor na sithe which means 'valley of tranquillity', a perfect description of the peaceful setting near Tain.0
