✨ Tekniske specifikationer
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 utilizing Scotland's tallest copper pot stills—which stand at the height of an adult giraffe—to capture only the purest, most elegant vapors. This ultra-rare 25-year-old expression represents a masterful cross-continental marriage of Scottish heritage and Californian winemaking artistry. Under the guidance of Dr. Bill Lumsden, this single malt was finished in premier Chardonnay casks sourced from the acclaimed Sonoma-Cutrer winery. This unique maturation imparts a luscious, buttery complexity, white peach, and toasted brioche notes to the classic Highland spirit, weaving together stories of ancient Scottish spring water from the Tarlogie Springs with the sun-drenched terroir of the Sonoma Coast.
🍾 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.
