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.
