✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hailing from the legendary Glenmorangie Distillery in the Northern Highlands of Scotland, the 'Pride' bottled in 2012 represents the pinnacle of Scotch whisky craftsmanship. Distilled in the tallest copper stills in Scotland—which rise to the height of an adult giraffe to ensure only the lightest, purest vapors ascend—this expression initially matured for 28 years in finest oak casks. It was then finished for an extraordinary four years in premier grand cru Sauternes barriques from the world-renowned Chateau d'Yquem. This double maturation imparts a breathtaking complexity of honeyed sweetness, stone fruits, and toasted spices. Housed in an exquisite Baccarat crystal decanter, it celebrates both the ancient, mineral-rich waters of the Tarlogie Springs and the visionary artistry of wood finishing pioneered by Glenmorangie.
🍾 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.
