✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the historic distillery in Tain, within the Northern Highlands of Scotland, Glenmorangie is celebrated for possessing the tallest copper pot stills in the country. These majestic stills, standing at the height of an adult giraffe, ensure that only the lightest and purest vapors ascend to be condensed, imparting an elegant and remarkably smooth character to the spirit. This rare 1970s bottling of the classic 10-Year-Old Single Malt, presented at the traditional British 70 Proof (40% ABV), captures a golden era of Scotch production. Crafted by the legendary 'Sixteen Men of Tain,' this vintage bottling offers a sensory time capsule, showcasing a slightly waxier texture, subtle herbal peatiness, and rich orchard fruit notes that distinguish mid-20th-century distillations from their modern counterparts.
