✨ wine.spec_sheet
Hailing from the wind-swept shores of the Dornoch Firth in the Scottish Highlands, Glenmorangie is celebrated for its pioneering spirit and its remarkably tall copper stills—the height of an adult giraffe—which yield an exceptionally pure, elegant spirit. The Grand Vintage Malt Bond House No. 1 Collection represents the pinnacle of this craftsmanship, named after the distillery's historic 19th-century warehouse which was transformed into a majestic stillhouse in 1990. The 2019 bottling, distilled in 1996, showcases Glenmorangie's legendary wood management, having matured for over two decades primarily in bespoke, slow-growth American white oak ex-bourbon casks. This patient maturation coaxes out luxurious notes of creamy vanilla, ripe stone fruits, and delicate floral spices, embodying the rich heritage and innovative soul of the 'Men of Tain'.
