✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Glenmorangie, located in the ancient burgh of Tain in the Scottish Highlands, has been crafting single malt whisky since 1843. This particular bottling of the 10-Year-Old Single Highland Malt, dating from the 1990s, captures a historic era of the distillery's production before its modern rebranding. Glenmorangie is legendary for possessing the tallest copper pot stills in Scotland—standing at the height of an adult giraffe—which ensures that only the lightest and purest vapors ascend to condense. Aged primarily in American white oak ex-bourbon casks, this expression represents the classic Highland style: elegant, floral, and remarkably soft, with delicate notes of citrus, honey, vanilla, and a gentle malty sweetness.
🍾 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.
