✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Crafted in the far north of Scotland at the historic Glenmorangie Distillery in Tain, established in 1843, this Highland Single Malt represents a pioneering chapter in wood-finishing techniques. Glenmorangie is renowned for possessing the tallest copper pot stills in Scotland—reaching the height of an adult giraffe—which allow only the lightest and purest vapors to ascend, resulting in an exceptionally elegant spirit. For this expressive release, the delicate Highland spirit is first matured in American white oak ex-bourbon casks before undergoing a secondary maturation in hand-selected Sauternes wine casks from the famed sweet wine region of Bordeaux. This wood finish infuses the whisky with rich, dessert-like complexities, marrying the distillery's signature citrus and floral notes with luscious layers of honey, ginger, and toasted pastry.
🍾 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.
