History
The Glenmorangie distillery was founded in 1843 in Tain in Scotland and stands out for the production of pure malt quality whisky. It is famous for the unique shape of the ‘giraffe neck’ stills, which are the tallest in Scotland, producing smooth and silky Mediterranean whiskies. The ancient warehouse next to the distillery is suggestive and contributes to the refinement of the distillates, which are currently aged in six types of barrels.
Production method
The process begins with malting the barley, during which the starches present in the cereal are broken down into simple sugars suitable for alcoholic fermentation. This takes place in three phases: the maceration of the barley in water, germination and drying. Subsequently, the barley is ground and added again with hot water, extracting the wort which will be fermented and distilled. The final refinement, including the choice of the right wood, is essential for the sensations that the distillate will acquire.

Tasting notes
Light amber yellow colour. On the nose notes of dried fruit, raisins and apricots, aromatic herbs and Mediterranean scrub, white pepper and boisé. On the palate the whiskey is decidedly soft, silky and rich, with a long and bewitching finish.
Usage
Perfect at the end of a meal or as a meditation; particularly recommended for lovers of elegant and complex whiskeys. Also highly recommended for a gift!
