✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hailing from the historic Glenmorangie Distillery in Tain, located in the northern Highlands of Scotland, this exceptionally rare single malt was bottled at a powerful cask strength of 60.8% to commemorate the final flight of the iconic Concorde supersonic airliner in 2003. Glenmorangie is celebrated for possessing the tallest copper pot stills in Scotland—reaching the height of an adult giraffe—which ensures only the lightest, purest alcohol vapors ascend to the top, resulting in an incredibly elegant and floral spirit. This special release showcases the distillery's signature stone-fruit, honey, and vanilla profile, intensified by its high proof and decades of careful maturation, offering a liquid tribute to a golden age of aviation luxury.
🍾 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.
