✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Crafted in the far north of Scotland at the historic Tain distillery, Glenmorangie's 'A Tale of Winter' is a celebration of cozy, snowy days spent by the fire. Master of Whisky Creation Dr. Bill Lumsden envisioned this expression to capture the warmth of a favorite winter sweater. The spirit is first distilled in Glenmorangie's signature copper stills—the tallest in Scotland, which ensure only the lightest, purest vapors ascend to create an exceptionally elegant spirit. It is then aged in bourbon casks before undergoing a finishing period in sweet Marsala wine casks from Sicily. This unique maturation process infuses the classic Highland single malt with rich, festive notes of candied fruit, cocoa, ginger, and warm spices, blending Scottish distilling tradition with Mediterranean warmth.
🍾 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.
