✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Nestled in the far north of Scotland along the shores of the Dornoch Firth, Glenmorangie has been crafting exemplary single malt whisky since 1843. Known for utilizing Scotland's tallest copper pot stills—which stand at the height of an adult giraffe—only the lightest, purest vapors reach the top, resulting in an exceptionally elegant spirit. 'The Nectar' 16 Year Old is a luxurious expression that builds on this delicate foundation. Initially matured in American oak bourbon casks, it undergoes an extensive finishing period in a selection of sweet wine casks, including Sauternes, Monbazillac, Moscatel, and Tokaji. This intricate double-maturation process weaves rich, decadent notes of honeyed pastry, baked stone fruits, and warm spices into the whisky's bright, citrusy core, evoking the atmosphere of a classic French patisserie.
🍾 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.
