Description

Glenmorangie Scottish Distillery

Glenmorangie is a distillery that has existed since 1738 in the Highlands of Scotland. The distillery began producing whisky in 1949 and the name Glenmorangie was first used in 1887. Like most Scottish distilleries Glenmorangie closed its doors for 5 years after the Second World War. After the 1980's Glenmorangie experienced a meteoric rise, doubling its production capacity several times over. In 2004, the French group LVMH bought the Scottish Highland distillery.

Do you know Glenmorangie au Nectar d'Or?

The Scottish distillery Glenmorangie produced this single malt before ageing it for 10 years in an American Bourbon cask and then in a French Sauternes cask. This very special ageing process adds smoothness and balance to this Scotch whisky. When you taste it, you'll be seduced by its aromas of orange, grapes and spices. On the palate, the attack is frank with notes of grilled almonds and honey. The finish is long and slightly sweet, with notes of chocolate and vanilla. Glenmorangie au Nectar d'Or can be enjoyed neat, with an ice cube, mainly as an aperitif.
