✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hailing from the historic town of Tain in the Scottish Highlands, Glenmorangie is renowned for its copper stills, which are the tallest in Scotland. These exceptionally tall necks produce an elegant, light, and pure spirit. This rare 12-Year-Old Highland Single Malt is a testament to the distillery's pioneering expertise in wood finishing. Initially matured in select American white oak ex-bourbon casks for eight years, the whisky is then transferred to rare Palo Cortado sherry casks for an additional four years of finishing. Palo Cortado is a legendary, naturally occurring sherry style that combines the delicate, aromatic nose of an Amontillado with the rich, full-bodied character of an Oloroso. This intricate double-maturation process weaves Glenmorangie's signature citrus and vanilla notes with complex layers of roasted nuts, sweet spices, and dried fruits.
🍾 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.
