Nestled on the shores of the Dornoch Firth in the Scottish Highlands, Glenmorangie has been crafting exceptional single malt whisky since 1843. Renowned for possessing the tallest copper stills in Scotland, the distillery produces an elegant, wonderfully delicate spirit. The Highland Single Malt Truffle Oak Reserve 26 Year Old, bottled in 2019, represents a pinnacle of wood experimentation. After initial aging in American white oak ex-bourbon casks, this rare spirit was finished in tightly grained German oak casks sourced from the Black Forest, colloquially known as truffle oak. This unique wood finish weaves rich, savory notes of damp forest floor, toasted nuts, and leather into Glenmorangie's classic orchard fruit and heather honey profile.
