GLENMORANGIE SIGNET

Description

This Glenmorangie Signet Highlands Whiskey is a whiskey produced in Scotland , marketed by the Glenmorangie brand.

The Glenmorangie Distillery is an institution in the United Kingdom. Of the 10 million bottles that this distillery produces, around 6 million are sold in the UK. We can say that it is the benchmark Single Malt of the British. Glenmorangie, distillery of the Eastern Highlands started its distillery activity in 1843, the first 2 stills bought second-hand were intended for the manufacture of Gin. With their 8 meters and a 3-meter pass, this distillery claims to have the highest stills in Scotland, which Bruichladdich refutes. In reality it is played at a few centimeters ... The height of these stills allows the production of a light flexible Single Malt. Water from the Tarlogie spring, rich in minerals, is the second element that gives Glenmorangie its specificity. During the 1990s, the distillery bought around 600 acres of land around the distillery to control the quality of the water it draws. Glenmorangie has been owned since 2004 by LVMH and Diageo, the upmarket shareholder policy implies that 100% of production is sold in Glenmorangie bottles.

The production of the fabulous BNJ blend (Baillie Nicol & Jarvie) is therefore no longer possible for the moment. The man has a crucial role in the manufacturing process of a bottle of Glenmorangie, the distillation being ensured by the "Sixteen men of Tain". Then the maturation is entrusted to the team led by Mr Lumsden who is at the origin of the aging program in different "Extra Matured" barrels such as Port, Sherry, Sauternes or even red wines. This program is so central to Glenmoragnie's development and differentiation strategy that the distillery now owns its oak forest in Missouri. The barrels produced in the USA dry for 2 years before being rented to Heaven Hill or Jack Daniel's then cross the Atlantic and can finally accommodate Glenmorangie.
