✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hailing from the legendary Glenmorangie Distillery in Tain, within the rugged Scottish Highlands, the Artisan Cask is a masterpiece of pioneering wood management. Glenmorangie, famed for utilizing Scotland's tallest copper pot stills—which are as tall as an adult giraffe—produces an exceptionally light and elegant spirit. For this specific release, the distillery sourced slow-growth, fine-grained American white oak from the northern slopes of the Ozark Mountains in Missouri. These 'designer casks' were air-dried for two years, toasted, and lightly charred to extract maximum sweetness, vanilla, and coconut notes. The resulting single malt, bottled at 46% ABV without chill-filtration, represents a landmark experiment in how bespoke wood influences Highland whisky, weaving together local folklore of the 'Men of Tain' with modern wood science.
🍾 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.
