Nestled on the shores of the Dornoch Firth in the Scottish Highlands, the Glenmorangie Distillery has been crafting exceptional single malt whisky since 1843. Renowned for possessing the tallest copper stills in Scotland, which stand at the height of an adult giraffe, only the lightest and purest vapors ascend to the top, resulting in an elegant and wonderfully floral spirit. This rare 24-year-old Private Reserve bottling, matured in a single first-fill bourbon barrel (Cask No 2009) until its bottling in 2022, represents the pinnacle of wood management. The first-fill American oak imparts intense, luscious layers of creamy vanilla, toasted coconut, honeyed peaches, and warm baking spices to the distillery's signature citrus and floral character, standing as a testament to the patient craftsmanship of the legendary 'Men of Tain' and the mineral-rich waters of the Tarlogie Springs.
