✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hailing from the legendary Glenmorangie Distillery in the Scottish Highlands, famed for possessing the tallest copper pot stills in Scotland, Companta is the fifth release in the distillery's acclaimed Private Edition series. Meaning 'friendship' in Scots Gaelic, Companta represents a masterclass in wood finishing pioneered by Dr. Bill Lumsden. This exceptional single malt was first matured in American white oak ex-bourbon casks before undergoing a meticulous extra-maturation process. It was finished in a combination of rare casks: ultra-premium Grand Cru wine casks from Clos de Tart in Burgundy, and fortified sweet wine casks from the Côtes du Rhône region. This marriage of Scottish distillation heritage and French viticultural excellence yields a whisky of remarkable complexity, boasting notes of rich cherry, dark chocolate, and warming spices.
🍾 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.
