Glenmorangie Discovery Gift Set

Glenmorangie Discovery Gift Set

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 Single Malt Whisky is made using malted barley, which is germinated with water sourced from the Tarlogie Spring. The water produced from the spring, which spends nearly a century underground before it is extracted, is unusually rich in minerals. In the 1980's, when development in the area threatened the spring's water quality, the distillery purchased 600 acres of land around and including the spring, in order to ensure consistent water quality and adequate supply. After germination, the grains are mashed and fermented before being twice distilled through Glenmorangie's copper-pot stills. The 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 The Original Single Malt Scotch Whisky is matured for a decade in first and second fill American white oak casks sourced from Missouri. This maturation process results in a whisky that has an aroma of citrus and ripened peaches softened by a touch of vanilla. Floral notes burst on the palate, and are complemented by hints of cream and buttered nuts. The finish is long and delicate, with touches of orange and peach. Glenmorangie The Original Single Malt Scotch Whisky earned the Double Gold Medal at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition in 2014. This gift set, which is perfect for the holidays, includes a 750mL bottle of Glenmorangie The Original, along with 50mL bottles of Glenmorangie Lasanta, Quinta Ruban and Nectar D'Or.
