✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hailing from the legendary Glenmorangie Distillery in Tain, within the wind-swept Scottish Highlands, this Highland Single Malt represents a masterclass in wood finishing. Established in 1843, Glenmorangie is renowned for possessing the tallest copper pot stills in Scotland—reaching the height of an adult giraffe—which ensure only the lightest, purest vapors ascend to condense into spirit. This particular expression, bottled in 2002, showcases the distillery's pioneering heritage in double maturation. After maturing in American white oak ex-bourbon casks, the whisky underwent a secondary maturation in hand-selected French oak casks previously used for luscious Sauternes dessert wine. This marriage of Highland single malt and Bordeaux sweetness yields a complex dram rich with notes of lemon curd, honey, toasted coconut, and warm spices, celebrated by whisky enthusiasts as a landmark historical release.
🍾 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.
