Glenmorangie

In 1738, a brewery was built upon Morangie Farm in the Highlands region of Scotland. A century later, William Matheson acquired the farm and equipped the Morangie brewery with two stills that he purchased second-hand, and renamed the brewery-converted-distillery Glenmorangie.Glenmorangie whiskies are made using malted barley, which is mashed and fermented with water sourced from the Tarlogie Spring. The water produced from the spring, which spends nearly a century underground being filtered through layers of limestone before it is extracted, is unusually rich in minerals. In the 1980s, when development in the area threatened the springs water quality, Glenmorangie purchased 600 acres of land around the spring in order to ensure a consistent and everlasting supply.After the barley has been fermented, the wash is twice distilled through Glenmorangies copper-pot stills by a team of 16 distillers known as the Sixteen Men of Tain. Glenmorangies stills are equipped with relatively small boiler pots, which increases the exposure of the whisky to the copper, resulting in a more pure flavor. In addition, the stills are nearly seventeen feet tall the tallest of any distillery in Scotland and as a result, produce a lighter, more refined whisky.The original expression of the elegant, floral Glenmorangie range this ten-year-old single malt, is made by marrying the delicate spirit of Scotlands tallest stills, with first and second fill American white oak casks. After maturing for ten years in a range of famous slow-grown and air-dried ex-bourbon designer casks from Missouri, this raw spirit develops a perfect balance between sweetness and complexity. The result is a mature soft, mellow and creamy spirit.Pick up your bottle today!

The 12-year-old Malaga Cask Finish is one of these. After its 8 years of initial aging it was transferred to first-fill Spanish Malaga fortified wine casks for an additional 4 years. Malaga is a sweet wine that is made with Pedro Ximenez and Moscatel grape varietals. These casks, chosen by Glenmorangies Dr. Bill Lumsden, impart the non-chill-filtered whisky with rich dried fruit notes.Get your bottle today!

Lumsden, who holds a PhD in Biochemistry (he wrote his dissertation on yeast physiology) and is the only person in the world to have been honored with Whisky Advocates "Industry Leader of the Year" award three times, is one of the most respected figures in the Scotch whisky industry. "It develops and fills out the characteristics of the 10 Years Old, adding another dimension," he says of the 18 Year Old expression, "but it remains true to its origin."The whisky has a deep amber color, with notes of mandarin, banana, apple and pear. Well-textured, the flavors open up to notes of apricots, nuts and vanilla, along with hints of raisins and fudge. The finish, which lingers, has a touch of almonds and sweet citrus.Glenmorangie 18 Year Old Extremely Rare Whisky earned the Double Gold Medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition in 2010, and the title "Best in Class" at the International Wine and Spirits Competition in 2009.Pick up an extremely rare whisky today!

He channeled the happy memories of his daughters pineapple upside down cake as well as his grandmothers baking for this sweet expression. Lumsden decided on Tokaji dessert wine casks for the finishing step that follows initial aging in ex-bourbon casks. The result is a rich and complex limited-edition single malt that pairs surprisingly well with actual cake a fact that is reinforced by Dominique Ansels creations. The famous pastry chef and inventor of the Cronut (a hybrid between a donut and croissant) has teamed up with Glenmorangie to create various CakeTails unique cake and cocktail pairings.Get your bottle today!

Glenmorangie Allta Scots Gaelic for "wild" is the tenth expression in the collection, and the very first whisky to be created from a bespoke strain of wild yeast growing on local barley.Yeasts influence on the character of whisky has long been overlooked. Acclaimed whisky writer Michael Jackson believed Glenmorangie possessed unique "house" yeast. Having discovered a strain of wild yeast that had never been identified before, Glenmorangie created this expression with local Cadboll barley. The result is an exceptional spirit, noted for its aromatic character, matured in ex-bourbon barrels to highlight its fruity character and lend a rich creaminess to the whisky.

While studying Biochemistry and Cell Biology as a student at Glasgow University over 30 years ago, Lumsden began experimenting with the distillation of different varieties of malted barley that were commonly used to produce beer (the barley used to produce beer is often roasted or caramelized, while the barley used to make whisky traditionally is not).Glenmorangie Signet Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a marriage of whisky produced from two unique types of malted barley: Cadboll malted barley and malted chocolate barley (often used to create craft beers). The whisky produced from Cadboll malted barley, which is harvested on the rolling hills that surround Glenmorangie Distillery, contributes a creamy, vanilla flavor to Glenmorangie Signet. The chocolate barley, however, is "the heart of the recipe," says Lumsden. The high roasted chocolate malt "is tumble roasted in the same way coffee beans would be,"and as a result, contributes strong notes mocha, cacao beans and milk chocolate to the whisky.Once the barley has been fermented, it is distilled twice through Glenmorangies copper-pot stills by a team of 16 distillers known as the Sixteen Men of Tain. Glenmorangies stills are equipped with relatively small boiler pots, which increases the exposure of the whisky to the copper, resulting in a more pure flavor. In addition, the stills are nearly seventeen feet tall the tallest of any distillery in Scotland and as a result, produce a lighter, more refined whisky.Following distillation, Glenmorangie Signet is aged in a variety of different casks. While a portion of the whisky is matured in Spanish oak casks that were previously used to mature sherry, another portion is matured in new, charred oak casks. "The charred oak surface gives a very spicy, toasty style of whisky," says Lumsden. In addition, there is an "element of our oldest and rarest stocks Glenmorangie whiskies from 35 years old through to 40 years old," he adds.Glenmorangie Signet Single Malt Scotch Whisky has a rich aroma of mocha, milk chocolate and tiramisu. The aroma opens up to viscous, full-bodied notes of coffee, almonds, biscotti, ginger, cinnamon and orange on the palate, and ends with a creamy vanilla finish. The whisky earned the Double Gold Medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition in 2009, 2010 and 2011, and earned a score of 95 points from Wine Enthusiast. In addition, it earned the Best Single Malt Scotch (no age statement) Trophy at the International Wine and Spirits Competition in 2013."Glenmorangie Signet is without doubt the most unusual whisky ever produced in Scotland," says Lumsden.Pick up a unique bottle of whisky today!
