✨ Technical Specifications
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'.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1843 by William Matheson on the tranquil shores of the Dornoch Firth near Tain in the Scottish Highlands, Glenmorangie is celebrated globally as a pioneer of Highland single malt Scotch whisky. The distillery is famed for possessing the tallest copper pot stills in Scotland, whose soaring swan necks allow only the lightest and purest vapours to ascend, yielding an exceptionally delicate and floral new-make spirit. Utilizing mineral-rich water from the protected Tarlogie Springs and premium Scottish barley, Glenmorangie has long led the industry in revolutionary wood management and bespoke cask finishing under the stewardship of Moët Hennessy. Their expansive portfolio ranges from the quintessential, citrus-and-vanilla-laden 'The Original' to intricate, chocolate-malt innovations like Signet and highly collectible rare vintage expressions.
