✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the historic distillery of Tain in the Scottish Highlands, established in 1843 by William Matheson, Glenmorangie is legendary for possessing the tallest copper pot stills in Scotland. These stills, towering to the height of an adult giraffe, ensure that only the lightest and purest vapors ascend to be condensed, resulting in an exceptionally elegant spirit. This rare, historical '100% Proof' (57.1% ABV) 10-Year-Old expression is a highly prized bottling from the late 20th century. Aged in American white oak ex-bourbon casks, it delivers the distillery's signature stone-fruit, floral, and citrus character at its natural, cask-strength intensity, offering a powerful yet remarkably balanced sensory journey through Highland distilling heritage.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1843 by William Matheson on the tranquil shores of the Dornoch Firth in Ross-shire, Glenmorangie stands as a benchmark of Highland single malt Scotch whisky. The distillery is distinguished by its use of Scotland's tallest copper pot stills—rising over five meters—which foster prolonged copper contact and reflux, yielding an exceptionally delicate, floral, and citrus-forward spirit. Mineral-rich, hard water sourced from the historic Tarlogie Springs further shapes its distinct profile. Under the innovative stewardship of Dr. Bill Lumsden and owner Moët Hennessy, Glenmorangie pioneered secondary wood finishing in Sauternes, Port, and Sherry casks. Beyond core benchmarks like The Original and The Nectar, the house crafts revered, complex expressions such as Signet, Pride, and the vintage Bond House No. 1 Collection, balancing Highland elegance with cutting-edge wood management.
