✨ Tekniske specifikationer
Hailing from the legendary Glenmorangie Distillery in Tain, Ross-shire, the Single Highland Rare Malt 18 Year Old is a masterpiece of Scotch whisky craftsmanship. Known for possessing the tallest copper pot stills in Scotland—reaching the height of an adult giraffe—Glenmorangie ensures only the lightest, purest vapors ascend to condense, resulting in an exceptionally elegant spirit. This expression spends its first fifteen years maturing in American white oak ex-bourbon casks, after which approximately thirty percent is transferred into Spanish Oloroso sherry casks for its final three years. Once reunited, the marriage of these casks yields a rich, silky malt with notes of dried fruits, honey, and subtle floral complexity. The distillery's heritage is deeply intertwined with the 'Sixteen Men of Tain' and the mineral-rich waters of the Tarlogie Springs, which flow through limestone, imparting a unique character to this historic Highland malt.
🍾 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.
