Crafted in the heart of the Scottish Highlands, Glenmorangie's 'X' represents a playful, modern evolution of traditional single malt whisky. Known for possessing the tallest copper stills in Scotland—reaching the height of an adult giraffe—Glenmorangie produces an exceptionally elegant and delicate spirit. For 'X,' the distillery collaborated with top bartenders to design a single malt specifically engineered for mixing. Aged in a combination of traditional bourbon casks and finished in new charred oak casks, this expression offers a sweeter, richer profile rich with notes of pear, vanilla, and orange sherbet, bridging the gap between centuries-old distilling heritage and contemporary cocktail culture.
