✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hailing from the legendary Glenmorangie Distillery in Tain, located in the rugged Highlands of Scotland, 'A Midwinter Night's Dram' is a testament to the art of wood finishing pioneered by Dr. Bill Lumsden. Crafted to capture the cozy warmth of the winter solstice, this single malt is first matured in select American white oak ex-bourbon casks before being finished in rich Spanish Oloroso sherry casks. Glenmorangie's signature copper stills—the tallest in Scotland, reaching the height of an adult giraffe—ensure only the lightest, purest vapors ascend to create an elegant spirit. This delicate base is beautifully transformed by the sherry casks, weaving together historical Highland distilling heritage with festive, warming notes of orange peel, ginger, cocoa, and sweet spices.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
William Matheson grundlagde Glenmorangie i 1843 ved de fredfyldte bredder af Dornoch Firth i Ross-shire, og destilleriet regnes i dag for et uomgængeligt pejlemærke inden for Highland single malt Scotch whisky. Huset udmærker sig ved Skotlands højeste svanehals-kedler af kobber på over fem meter. Den imponerende højde sikrer en forlænget kobberkontakt og massiv refluks, hvilket skaber et usædvanligt let, floralt og citrusdrevet destillat. Det mineralrige, hårde kildevand fra de historiske Tarlogie Springs er ligeledes med til at definere whiskyens særpræg. Under ledelse af Moët Hennessy og den visionære Dr. Bill Lumsden har Glenmorangie været pionerer inden for fadlagring og sekundær modning på sauternes-, portvins- og sherryfade. Foruden klassiske milepæle som The Original og The Nectar står destilleriet bag højt værdsatte, komplekse kreationer som Signet, Pride og den eksklusive årgangsserie Bond House No. 1 Collection, hvor Highland-elegance og nyskabende fadstyring forenes til fuldkommenhed.
