✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Glenmorangie's 'A Tale of Forest' is a whimsical and pioneering expression from the historic Highland distillery, crafted under the creative guidance of Dr. Bill Lumsden. Inspired by the sensory wonder of walks through the Scottish woodlands, this unique single malt represents a revival of ancient kilning methods. The distillery kilned its barley with a select blend of forest botanicals, including juniper berries, birch bark, and heather flowers, infusing the grain with aromatic smoke. Distilled in Glenmorangie's signature copper pot stills—the tallest in Scotland, which yield an exceptionally pure and elegant spirit—and aged in active bourbon casks, this whisky sings with notes of pine, peppermint, bitter orange, and gentle woodsmoke. It pays homage to the lush, wild landscapes of the Highlands and the legendary storytelling heritage of Scottish folklore.
🍾 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.
