✨ Technical Specifications
Glenmorangie, nestled in the Highlands of Scotland since 1843, is legendary for its pioneering spirit and its remarkably tall copper stills—the tallest in Scotland—which produce an exceptionally pure and elegant spirit. The Cote De Nuits Wood Finish 25 Year Old is a rare testament to the distillery's mastery of wood finishing. After spending the majority of its life in American oak ex-bourbon casks, this single malt underwent a secondary maturation in premier red wine casks from the prestigious Côte de Nuits region of Burgundy. This marriage of Highland craftsmanship and French terroir infuses the delicate, floral Glenmorangie spirit with rich layers of black cherry, plum, warm baking spices, and a subtle, earthy complexity reminiscent of fine Pinot Noir.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1843 by William Matheson on the tranquil shores of the Dornoch Firth in Ross-shire, Glenmorangie stands as a benchmark of Highland single malt Scotch whisky. The distillery is distinguished by its use of Scotland's tallest copper pot stills—rising over five meters—which foster prolonged copper contact and reflux, yielding an exceptionally delicate, floral, and citrus-forward spirit. Mineral-rich, hard water sourced from the historic Tarlogie Springs further shapes its distinct profile. Under the innovative stewardship of Dr. Bill Lumsden and owner Moët Hennessy, Glenmorangie pioneered secondary wood finishing in Sauternes, Port, and Sherry casks. Beyond core benchmarks like The Original and The Nectar, the house crafts revered, complex expressions such as Signet, Pride, and the vintage Bond House No. 1 Collection, balancing Highland elegance with cutting-edge wood management.
