✨ 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
Glenmorangie blev grundlagt i 1843 af William Matheson ved de fredfyldte bredder ved Dornoch Firth nær Tain i det skotske højland, og destilleriet er i dag verdensberømt som en pioner inden for Highland single malt whisky. Destilleriet er særligt kendt for at have Skotlands højeste svanehalsede kobberkedler, hvor kun de letteste og reneste dampe slipper igennem, hvilket resulterer i et enestående elegant og floralt rådestillat. Med mineralrigt kildevand fra de fredede Tarlogie Springs og førsteklasses skotsk byg har Glenmorangie – i dag under Moët Hennessys lederskab – længe været førende inden for banebrydende fadlagring og skræddersyet efterlagring på udvalgte fade. Deres alsidige portefølje spænder fra den klassiske signaturwhisky 'The Original' med sine klare citrus- og vaniljenoter til komplekse nyskabelser som den chokolademaltede Signet samt sjældne, eftertragtede vintage-aftapninger.
