✨ Technical Specifications
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.
