✨ Tekniske specifikationer
This extraordinarily rare 23-year-old Highland single malt is a masterpiece born from the collaboration between Glenmorangie's visionary Director of Whisky Creation, Dr. Bill Lumsden, and the acclaimed Japanese botanical artist Azuma Makoto. Inspired by Makoto's breathtaking floral sculptures, Dr. Lumsden crafted a whisky that mirrors the complex beauty of nature. Distilled in Glenmorangie's signature copper pot stills—the tallest in Scotland, which produce an exceptionally light and pure spirit—this expression was aged in ex-bourbon casks before undergoing a unique finishing period in Chardonnay wine casks from Burgundy. The result is a sensory tapestry of floral notes, ripe stone fruits, and toasted oak, celebrating the shared appreciation for craftsmanship and natural beauty between Scottish distilling heritage and Japanese floral artistry.
🍾 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.
