✨ 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 near Tain in the Scottish Highlands, Glenmorangie is celebrated globally as a pioneer of Highland single malt Scotch whisky. The distillery is famed for possessing the tallest copper pot stills in Scotland, whose soaring swan necks allow only the lightest and purest vapours to ascend, yielding an exceptionally delicate and floral new-make spirit. Utilizing mineral-rich water from the protected Tarlogie Springs and premium Scottish barley, Glenmorangie has long led the industry in revolutionary wood management and bespoke cask finishing under the stewardship of Moët Hennessy. Their expansive portfolio ranges from the quintessential, citrus-and-vanilla-laden 'The Original' to intricate, chocolate-malt innovations like Signet and highly collectible rare vintage expressions.
