✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hailing from the wind-swept Highlands of Scotland, Glenmorangie is renowned for possessing the tallest copper pot stills in the country—reaching the height of an adult giraffe—which produce an exceptionally delicate and elegant spirit. The Quinta Ruban 12-Year-Old is a masterclass in wood finishing, a technique pioneered by the distillery. The spirit spends its first ten years maturing in American white oak ex-bourbon casks, developing a soft, honeyed foundation. It is then transferred to hand-selected ruby port pipes from the historic quintas of Portugal for an additional two years of maturation. This finishing process infuses the whisky with a striking ruby hue and a decadent tapestry of dark mint chocolate, mandarin orange, and warm spices, beautifully marrying Scottish distilling heritage with Portuguese wine-making tradition.
🍾 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.
