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.
