✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hailing from the Tarlogie Springs in the wind-swept Highlands of Scotland, Glenmorangie is legendary for utilizing the tallest copper pot stills in Scotland—reaching the height of a fully grown giraffe. This extreme height ensures only the lightest, purest vapors ascend to condense, yielding an elegant and complex spirit. This specific 10-Year-Old bottling from the 1980s represents a golden era of production, crafted by the historic 'Sixteen Men of Tain.' Unlike its modern counterparts, this vintage bottling offers a waxier mouthfeel, subtle whispers of peat smoke from traditional floor maltings of the era, and a rich tapestry of heather honey, orange oil, and soft oak spices derived from slow maturation in select American oak casks.
🍾 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.
