✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hailing from the far north of Scotland in Tain, Glenmorangie is celebrated for its towering copper stills—the tallest in Scotland—which produce an exceptionally elegant and delicate spirit. The Quinta Ruban 14 Year Old is a masterclass in wood finishing, a technique pioneered by the distillery. This single malt spends its first ten years maturing in American white oak ex-bourbon casks, developing a soft, vanilla-rich foundation. It is then transferred to hand-selected Ruby Port pipes from the historic quintas of Portugal's Douro Valley for an additional four years of finishing. This dual maturation imparts a deep, ruby-gold hue and weaves luscious notes of dark chocolate, mint, and candied orange into the whisky's smooth, velvety profile.
🍾 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.
