✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hailing from the legendary Glenmorangie Distillery in Tain, within the Northern Highlands of Scotland, this incredibly rare 23-Year-Old Single Malt was bottled in 2001 to commemorate the 'Year of the Snake'. Glenmorangie is celebrated for possessing the tallest copper pot stills in Scotland—equal in height to an adult giraffe—which ensure only the lightest, purest vapors ascend to condense into spirit. This elegant distillate was matured for over two decades in select oak casks, drawing character from the distillery's hard, mineral-rich water source, the Tarlogie Springs. The result is a majestic Highland malt of immense complexity, marrying Glenmorangie's signature citrus and floral elegance with deep, antique oak, rich dried fruits, and warming spices developed over its long slumber.
🍾 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.
