✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hailing from the legendary Glenmorangie distillery in Tain, Ross-shire, this rare 10-year-old single malt, bottled in 1990, holds a special place in both whisky and sporting folklore. It was specially released to commemorate Scotland's historic 1990 Rugby Union Grand Slam victory over England at Murrayfield. Glenmorangie is renowned for utilizing Scotland's tallest copper pot stills—standing at the height of an adult giraffe—which ensure only the lightest, purest vapors ascend to condense. This elegant spirit was matured for a decade in select American white oak ex-bourbon casks, resulting in the distillery's signature delicate, floral, and citrus-forward profile, enriched by notes of vanilla, honey, and gentle spice.
🍾 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.
