✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1843 by William Matheson on the tranquil shores of the Dornoch Firth in Ross-shire, Glenmorangie stands as a benchmark of Highland single malt Scotch whisky. The distillery is distinguished by its use of Scotland's tallest copper pot stills—rising over five meters—which foster prolonged copper contact and reflux, yielding an exceptionally delicate, floral, and citrus-forward spirit. Mineral-rich, hard water sourced from the historic Tarlogie Springs further shapes its distinct profile. Under the innovative stewardship of Dr. Bill Lumsden and owner Moët Hennessy, Glenmorangie pioneered secondary wood finishing in Sauternes, Port, and Sherry casks. Beyond core benchmarks like The Original and The Nectar, the house crafts revered, complex expressions such as Signet, Pride, and the vintage Bond House No. 1 Collection, balancing Highland elegance with cutting-edge wood management.
