✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hailing from the historic town of Tain in the Scottish Highlands, Glenmorangie is renowned for its towering copper pot stills—the tallest in Scotland—which produce an exceptionally light, elegant, and floral spirit. This rare 12-year-old Barrel Select Release, bottled in 2020, highlights the distillery's pioneering heritage in wood finishing. The single malt spent its first eight years maturing in traditional ex-bourbon American white oak casks before undergoing a secondary four-year maturation in sweet Malaga wine casks from Andalusia, Spain. This finishing process coaxes out luscious notes of honey, milk chocolate, raisins, and baking spices, beautifully complementing the distillery's signature citrus and stone fruit character.
🍾 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.
