✨ Technical Specifications
Nestled on the shores of the Dornoch Firth in the Highlands of Scotland, Glenmorangie has been crafting its legendary single malt whisky since 1843, drawing from the mineral-rich waters of the Tarlogie Springs. This special Commemorative Millennium Bottling, released in late 1999 to mark the dawn of the 21st century, showcases the distillery's signature elegant style. Glenmorangie is celebrated for utilizing the tallest copper pot stills in Scotland—reaching the height of an adult giraffe—which ensures only the lightest, purest vapors ascend to condense. Matured in select American white oak ex-bourbon casks, this expression reflects the classic Highland profile, characterized by notes of citrus, peaches, vanilla, and delicate floral honey, wrapped in a rich history of Highland craftsmanship.
