✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the legendary Glenmorangie Distillery in Tain, Ross-shire, this ultra-rare 30-year-old single malt is a testament to the distillery's pioneering spirit in wood finishing. Distilled in Scotland's tallest copper pot stills—which are the height of an adult giraffe and ensure only the lightest, purest vapors ascend—this expression initially matured in select American white oak ex-bourbon casks. It was then finished in prized French oak Cognac casks, marrying Glenmorangie's signature floral, citrusy elegance with the deep, opulent notes of spiced stone fruits, leather, and toasted oak. This limited Barrel Select Release, bottled in 2021, reflects centuries of Highland distilling heritage and the artistry of wood management.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1843 by William Matheson on the tranquil shores of the Dornoch Firth near Tain in the Scottish Highlands, Glenmorangie is celebrated globally as a pioneer of Highland single malt Scotch whisky. The distillery is famed for possessing the tallest copper pot stills in Scotland, whose soaring swan necks allow only the lightest and purest vapours to ascend, yielding an exceptionally delicate and floral new-make spirit. Utilizing mineral-rich water from the protected Tarlogie Springs and premium Scottish barley, Glenmorangie has long led the industry in revolutionary wood management and bespoke cask finishing under the stewardship of Moët Hennessy. Their expansive portfolio ranges from the quintessential, citrus-and-vanilla-laden 'The Original' to intricate, chocolate-malt innovations like Signet and highly collectible rare vintage expressions.
