The Glenmorangie distillery produces single malt whiskies and is located in Tain, Ross-shire. If the legends are to be believed, alcohol had been produced in Tain since the Middle Ages, and a Morangie Farm had been known to distill spirits from the beginning of the 18th century. Today, Glenmorangie is owned by the Glenmorangie Company Ltd, a subsidiary of LVMH. Glenmorangie's unique characteristics are due to three factors: 1) Tall stills (the tallest in Scotland) removing more of the heavy esters, lending cleaner, purer flavours to the whisky; 2) High minerality of its water source, Tarlogie Springs; and 3) Woodplay, with a propensity to experiment with unusual casks, giving rise to exotic flavour profiles. Azuma Makoto is an acclaimed flower artist, botanical sculptor, and co-founder of JARDINS des FLEURS. This special collaborations sees Makoto decorating Glenmorangie's 18YO, aged in a combination of bourbon and sherry casks, with beautiful bouquets on the label and box. Glenmorangie 18 has always been known for juicy fruits and flowers, and this is limited edition design definitely evokes those floral notes! Size: 70 cl ABV: 43% Fill level: Good With box?: Yes |
