✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Glenmorangie Allta, which translates to 'wild' in Scots Gaelic, is a groundbreaking Highland single malt that serves as the tenth release in the distillery's acclaimed Private Edition series. Created by the visionary Dr. Bill Lumsden, this whisky shifts the traditional focus of Scotch maturation from wood to the transformative power of yeast. It is crafted using a bespoke wild yeast strain, Saccharomyces diaemath, discovered growing naturally on the Cadboll barley fields surrounding the distillery. This wild yeast was cultivated and used for fermentation, imparting an unusually rich, bready, and floral character. Aged primarily in second-fill ex-bourbon casks to ensure the unique yeast profile was not overshadowed by heavy oak, Allta offers a fascinating, terroir-driven narrative of the Tarbat Peninsula's native microflora.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Glenmorangie blev grundlagt i 1843 af William Matheson ved de fredfyldte bredder ved Dornoch Firth nær Tain i det skotske højland, og destilleriet er i dag verdensberømt som en pioner inden for Highland single malt whisky. Destilleriet er særligt kendt for at have Skotlands højeste svanehalsede kobberkedler, hvor kun de letteste og reneste dampe slipper igennem, hvilket resulterer i et enestående elegant og floralt rådestillat. Med mineralrigt kildevand fra de fredede Tarlogie Springs og førsteklasses skotsk byg har Glenmorangie – i dag under Moët Hennessys lederskab – længe været førende inden for banebrydende fadlagring og skræddersyet efterlagring på udvalgte fade. Deres alsidige portefølje spænder fra den klassiske signaturwhisky 'The Original' med sine klare citrus- og vaniljenoter til komplekse nyskabelser som den chokolademaltede Signet samt sjældne, eftertragtede vintage-aftapninger.
