✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Glenmorangie, nestled on the shores of the Dornoch Firth in the Scottish Highlands, is legendary for its towering copper pot stills—the tallest in Scotland—which produce an exceptionally light and elegant spirit. In the late 20th century, Glenmorangie pioneered the art of wood finishing, a technique of transferring mature whisky to alternative casks for a secondary maturation. This historic Madeira Wood Finish expression represents one of those early, celebrated experiments. After spending years in American white oak ex-bourbon casks, the single malt was transferred to drum-shaped casks that once held rich, fortified Madeira wine. This dual maturation imparts a sun-drenched warmth to the whisky, weaving notes of caramelized fruits, honey, and exotic spices into the distillery's signature floral and citrus character.
🍾 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.
