✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the legendary Glenmorangie Distillery in the Scottish Highlands, the Grand Vintage Malt Bond House No. 1 Collection pays homage to the distillery's historic 19th-century warehouse. In 1990, this grand stone building was transformed into Glenmorangie’s breathtaking stillhouse, home to Scotland’s tallest copper stills—standing at the height of an adult giraffe—which produce an exceptionally light and elegant spirit. The 2021 bottling of this esteemed collection represents a triumph of wood management, marrying spirits matured in traditional ex-bourbon casks with those finished in prized Bordeaux red wine casks. This marriage of Highland mineral-rich spring water from the Tarlogie Springs, towering stills, and meticulous cask selection yields a complex single malt brimming with floral notes, red berry sweetness, and deep, spicy undertones.
🍾 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.
