✨ Tekniske specifikationer
This exceptionally rare Highland single malt represents the pinnacle of Glenmorangie's artisanal distillation and patient maturation. Distilled in the northern Highlands of Tain, the spirit is shaped by the distillery's legendary copper pot stills—the tallest in Scotland—which ensure only the purest, most elegant vapors ascend to be condensed. Drawing water from the mineral-rich Tarlogie Springs, steeped in local folklore as a sacred site, this 21-year-old expression from Rare Cask 0009 was bottled in 2021 after more than two decades of slumber in hand-selected oak casks. The extended aging imparts a majestic complexity, weaving together the distillery's signature citrus and floral DNA with deep, resonant notes of baked stone fruits, toasted oak, warming spices, and a whisper of dark honey, reflecting the traditional craftsmanship historically guarded by the legendary 'Sixteen Men of Tain'.
🍾 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.
