Glenmorangie is a Scottish distillery in the Highlands, near the Dornoch Firth. The name comes from a Gaelic expression meaning "valley of calm". It was originally a brewery for the town of Tain until William Matheson converted it to a distillery in 1843. Records show that as early as the late 19th century it was sold in luxury hotels such as The Savoy, a testament to its quality at the time.
In 1959, after a brief hiatus, it returned as a single malt whiskey and quickly became the best seller in Scotland. Glenmorangie is famous for its tall 'giraffe' stills which produce a fine, fruity and sweet spirit. Thanks to the innovations of Dr. Today, Billa Lumsden is also known for its experimental limited editions, using different varieties of barley and types of whiskey barrels.
Since 2004, the distillery has been owned by the French company Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy (LVMH).
Glenmorangie 18 Years Old Extremely Rare is a single malt whisky that matures for at least 18 years. For the first 15 years, the whisky ages in traditional oak barrels, where it acquires delicate and fruity notes. Then, a portion of the whisky is transferred to Oloroso sherry casks for an additional three years, adding depth and finesse.
Nose: Rich and floral, with notes of dried fruit, honey, almonds, and exotic spices.
Taste: Smooth and full, dominated by apricots, chocolate, and light spices, complemented by the sweetness of vanilla.
Finish: Long, with lingering notes of sherry, fruit, and subtle hints of oak.
The whisky comes in an elegant presentation box.
