✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1843 by William Matheson on the tranquil shores of the Dornoch Firth in Ross-shire, Glenmorangie stands as a benchmark of Highland single malt Scotch whisky. The distillery is distinguished by its use of Scotland's tallest copper pot stills—rising over five meters—which foster prolonged copper contact and reflux, yielding an exceptionally delicate, floral, and citrus-forward spirit. Mineral-rich, hard water sourced from the historic Tarlogie Springs further shapes its distinct profile. Under the innovative stewardship of Dr. Bill Lumsden and owner Moët Hennessy, Glenmorangie pioneered secondary wood finishing in Sauternes, Port, and Sherry casks. Beyond core benchmarks like The Original and The Nectar, the house crafts revered, complex expressions such as Signet, Pride, and the vintage Bond House No. 1 Collection, balancing Highland elegance with cutting-edge wood management.
