Hailing from the legendary Glenmorangie Distillery in Tain, Ross-shire, this rare Highland Single Malt is a testament to Scotland's rich distilling heritage. Glenmorangie is renowned for possessing the tallest copper pot stills in Scotland, which ensures only the lightest and purest vapors ascend to be condensed. The 'Speakeasy' moniker pays homage to the clandestine history of Highland distilling, evoking the era of illicit stills and hidden drams before the Excise Act of 1823. Cask No. 9601, bottled in 2004 at a formidable cask strength of 60% ABV, represents an unadulterated expression of this craftsmanship. Aged in a single selected oak cask, it showcases the distillery's signature stone-fruit and floral elegance, underpinned by a robust, concentrated warmth and complex wood spice derived from its undisturbed maturation.
