✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hailing from the historic distillery of Glenmorangie in Tain, established in 1843 by William Matheson, 'The Original' is the flagship expression of this pioneering Highland single malt. This elegant spirit is distilled in Scotland's tallest copper pot stills, which stand at the height of an adult giraffe, allowing only the purest and lightest vapors to ascend and condense. It is matured for ten years in first- and second-fill American white oak ex-bourbon casks, including bespoke air-dried 'designer casks' from the Ozark Mountains. This meticulous process imparts a delicate, golden hue and a complex bouquet of mandarin, lemon, peach, and vanilla, underpinned by a gentle floral character that reflects the pristine waters of the Tarlogie Springs, the distillery's own ancient water source.
🍾 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.
