✨ 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
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.
