✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Glenmorangie Ealanta, Scots Gaelic for 'skilled and ingenious', is the highly acclaimed fourth annual release in the distillery's prestigious Private Edition series. Bottled in 2012 after 19 years of maturation, this extraordinary single malt departed from traditional Scotch aging practices by resting entirely in virgin American white oak casks sourced from the Mark Twain National Forest in Missouri. Glenmorangie's pioneering whisky creators sought to explore the pure, unadulterated influence of unused wood on their signature delicate spirit, which is distilled in Scotland's tallest stills. The result is a legendary dram that was named World Whisky of the Year in Jim Murray's 2014 Whisky Bible, celebrated for its intense butterscotch, vanilla, and candied orange peel notes, underpinned by a gentle, spicy oak complexity.
🍾 Om vinhuset / producenten
Glenmorangie blev grundlagt i 1843 af William Matheson ved de fredfyldte bredder ved Dornoch Firth nær Tain i det skotske højland, og destilleriet er i dag verdensberømt som en pioner inden for Highland single malt whisky. Destilleriet er særligt kendt for at have Skotlands højeste svanehalsede kobberkedler, hvor kun de letteste og reneste dampe slipper igennem, hvilket resulterer i et enestående elegant og floralt rådestillat. Med mineralrigt kildevand fra de fredede Tarlogie Springs og førsteklasses skotsk byg har Glenmorangie – i dag under Moët Hennessys lederskab – længe været førende inden for banebrydende fadlagring og skræddersyet efterlagring på udvalgte fade. Deres alsidige portefølje spænder fra den klassiske signaturwhisky 'The Original' med sine klare citrus- og vaniljenoter til komplekse nyskabelser som den chokolademaltede Signet samt sjældne, eftertragtede vintage-aftapninger.
