Crafted in the far north of Scotland at the historic Tain distillery, Glenmorangie is celebrated for its exceptionally tall copper pot stills—the height of an adult giraffe—which produce an incredibly elegant and delicate spirit. This rare 23-year-old single malt, bottled in 2023 to commemorate the Chinese New Year 'Year of the Dragon,' represents a masterclass in patient maturation. Aged for over two decades in the distillery's select oak casks, this expression marries the classic Highland heather-honey and citrus character of Glenmorangie with deep, complex notes of spiced plum, dark chocolate, and toasted oak, symbolizing the power and prosperity of the mythical dragon.
