✨ 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
Glenmorangie blev grundlagt i 1843 af William Matheson ved de fredfyldte bredder ved Dornoch Firth nær Tain i det skotske højland, og destilleriet er i dag verdensberømt som en pioner inden for Highland single malt whisky. Destilleriet er særligt kendt for at have Skotlands højeste svanehalsede kobberkedler, hvor kun de letteste og reneste dampe slipper igennem, hvilket resulterer i et enestående elegant og floralt rådestillat. Med mineralrigt kildevand fra de fredede Tarlogie Springs og førsteklasses skotsk byg har Glenmorangie – i dag under Moët Hennessys lederskab – længe været førende inden for banebrydende fadlagring og skræddersyet efterlagring på udvalgte fade. Deres alsidige portefølje spænder fra den klassiske signaturwhisky 'The Original' med sine klare citrus- og vaniljenoter til komplekse nyskabelser som den chokolademaltede Signet samt sjældne, eftertragtede vintage-aftapninger.
