The Glenmorangie distillery, founded in 1843 in the Scottish Highlands near Tain, is famous for its exquisite single malt Scotch whiskies. These are distilled in the highest stills in Scotland, resulting in a particularly fine and mild distillate. Glenmorangie is known for its innovative cask finishing technique, which matures whiskies in different types of casks such as port, sherry and wine casks, giving them a unique depth of flavor.
Glenmorangie also has a strong focus on sustainability, with initiatives to reduce CO2 emissions and reuse water, making the distillery a pioneer not only in the whisky industry but also in global spirits production. The distillery remains true to its heritage while continuously working to minimize its environmental footprint while maintaining the quality of its whiskies.
Glenmorangie EXTREMELY RARE 18 Years Old Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky undergoes careful and complex maturation, making it an exceptionally refined whisky. It first spends 15 years in American white oak casks, which gives it a solid foundation of creamy vanilla and rich fruit notes. Then 30% of this whisky is matured for a further three years in Spanish Oloroso sherry casks.
