✨ Technical Specifications
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.
