✨ 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 pot stills—the tallest in Scotland—which produce an exceptionally elegant and delicate spirit. The Highland Single Malt Margaux Wood Finish represents a legendary marriage of Scottish distilling heritage and French viticultural royalty. After initial maturation in American white oak ex-bourbon casks, this rare single malt was finished in premier grand cru red wine casks sourced from the prestigious Margaux appellation of Bordeaux. This finishing process infuses the whisky's signature notes of citrus, honey, and vanilla with the deep, velvety structure, dark forest fruits, and fragrant floral perfume characteristic of Margaux's legendary terroir.
