✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Glenmorangie 'The Original' is the flagship single malt expression from the historic distillery in Tain, established in 1843 by William Matheson. Renowned for possessing the tallest copper pot stills in Scotland—reaching the height of an adult male giraffe—only the lightest, purest vapors rise to the top, resulting in an exceptionally elegant, smooth, and floral spirit. This Highland single malt is matured for ten years in first- and second-fill American white oak ex-bourbon casks, many of which are custom-crafted from slow-grown, air-dried wood from the Ozark Mountains. This meticulous maturation process imparts signature notes of citrus, ripe peaches, and creamy vanilla, reflecting the legendary craftsmanship of the 'Men of Tain' who have guarded this liquid heritage for generations.
🍾 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.
