✨ Technical Specifications
The 'Pure Old Highland Malt' label is a historic testament to Glenmorangie's legacy, representing the classic bottling style of the distillery from the late 19th through the mid-20th century. Sourced from the mineral-rich Tarlogie Springs, the water lends a unique hardness that influences the fermentation process. The spirit is distilled in Scotland's tallest copper pot stills, which rise to the height of an adult giraffe. This extreme height ensures that only the lightest, purest vapors reach the top, resulting in an exceptionally elegant, floral, and citrus-forward Highland single malt. Historically matured in select oak casks, this expression showcases a beautiful balance of honeyed malt, stone fruits, and delicate spice, capturing the traditional craftsmanship of Tain before the advent of modern wood finishing.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1843 by William Matheson on the tranquil shores of the Dornoch Firth near Tain in the Scottish Highlands, Glenmorangie is celebrated globally as a pioneer of Highland single malt Scotch whisky. The distillery is famed for possessing the tallest copper pot stills in Scotland, whose soaring swan necks allow only the lightest and purest vapours to ascend, yielding an exceptionally delicate and floral new-make spirit. Utilizing mineral-rich water from the protected Tarlogie Springs and premium Scottish barley, Glenmorangie has long led the industry in revolutionary wood management and bespoke cask finishing under the stewardship of Moët Hennessy. Their expansive portfolio ranges from the quintessential, citrus-and-vanilla-laden 'The Original' to intricate, chocolate-malt innovations like Signet and highly collectible rare vintage expressions.
