| Remark : | Handcrafted by The Sixteen men of Tain. Glenmorangie is the biggest selling malt in Scotland, but still a small compagny. They use ex-bourbon, port, sherry or / and madeira wood / casks. The distillery have 4 wash stills and 4 spirit stills. The entire distillery output is sold as single, bottled malt. |
| From the box: | Here in the far north of Scotland, near the ancient Royan Burgh of
Tain, lies Glenmorangie. 'The Glen of Tranquillity' where malt whisky has
been distilled since before 1700. The distillery has an air of timelessness;
the methods and craft we employ today differ little from those of our forbears.
We use the same fine barley, locally grown in Ross-shire and lightly peated during malting. Our water rises in the Tarlogie Springs close to the distillety, and having filtered throuth lime and sandstone for half a century, is unusually hard and rich in minerals. Glenmorangie's elegant swan-neck still are the tallest in the Highlands, so only the lightest and purest of vapours can ascend and condense. And our whisky is matured for ten years in selected casks of American mountain oak which allow the natural flavour of Glenmorangie to fully develop. Our cast rest in low stone-built buildings with earthen floors, permeated by fresh sea-air, a gentle local climate ensuring a steady path to full maturity. The result is a malt whisky of unique character and subtlety, elegang and delicately scented. We are proud og Glenmorangie and confident of the pleasure it will give you. |
