✨ wine.spec_sheet
Hailing from the Tain region of the Scottish Highlands, Glenmorangie is renowned for possessing the tallest copper pot stills in Scotland—standing at the height of an adult giraffe. This extreme height ensures that only the lightest, purest vapors reach the top, resulting in an exceptionally elegant and smooth spirit. The 'Traditional 100 Proof' expression is a nod to historical bottling strengths, presented non-chill filtered at 57.1% ABV (100 UK Proof). Matured predominantly in select ex-bourbon American white oak casks, this expression showcases the distillery's signature stone-fruit and floral character but with heightened intensity, offering notes of rich vanilla, toasted coconut, citrus peel, and warm baking spices.
