✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hailing from the legendary Glenmorangie Distillery in Tain, Ross-shire, 'The Infinita' 18 Year Old is a masterpiece of Highland single malt Scotch whisky. Glenmorangie is renowned for possessing the tallest copper pot stills in Scotland—standing at the height of an adult giraffe—which ensures only the lightest, purest vapors ascend to condense, resulting in an exceptionally elegant spirit. This expression undergoes a meticulous dual-maturation process: it spends its first 15 years in American white oak ex-bourbon casks, after which approximately 30% of the liquid is transferred into Spanish Oloroso sherry casks for an additional three years of aging. Once both portions reach 18 years, they are reunited to create a silky, complex whisky boasting notes of caramelized citrus, honey, dried fruits, and delicate floral jasmine. It represents a liquid legacy of patience and craftsmanship in the rugged Scottish Highlands.
🍾 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.
