Highland Single Malt Claret Finish
⏳ Drikkevindue
As a distilled spirit, this single malt does not mature further in the bottle and is ready to enjoy immediately upon release. Unopened bottles will remain pristine indefinitely, while opened bottles are best enjoyed within 1 to 2 years to preserve the delicate fruit and wine-finish aromatics.
🍽️ Mad & Vin-match
Dark chocolate desserts, roasted venison with berry compote, or aged hard cheeses such as mature Cheddar.
✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hailing from the legendary Glenmorangie Distillery in Tain, within the Northern Highlands of Scotland, this pioneering expression showcases the art of wood finishing. Distilled in Scotland's tallest stills—which reach the height of an adult giraffe to ensure only the purest, lightest vapors are condensed—the spirit initially matures in American white oak ex-bourbon casks. It is then transferred to French oak casks that previously held Claret (Bordeaux red wine) for a secondary maturation. This innovative process, pioneered by Glenmorangie, marries the distillery's signature citrus and floral elegance with the rich, red-berry, and toasted-oak complexities of fine French red wine, reflecting a historic connection between Scottish distillers and French vintners.
🍾 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.
