GLENMORANGIE SAUTERNE CASK NECTAR D'OR

GLENMORANGIE NECTAR D'OR Sauternes Cask Finish Highlands Single Malt Scotch Whiskey .The Glenmorangie distillery is an institution in the United Kingdom. Of the 10 million bottles produced by this distillery, around 6 million are sold in the United Kingdom. You could 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 tallest 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. The mineral water Tarlogie, rich in minerals, is the other element giving its specificity to Glenmorangie. During the 1990s, the distillery bought around 600 ares 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 policy of the shareholders means that 100% of the production is sold in Glenmorangie bottles. The production of the fabulous BNJ blend (Baillie Nicol & Jarvie) is therefore no longer possible at the moment. 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 like barrels of Porto, Sherry, Sauternes or even red wines. This program is so central to Glenmoragnie's development and differentiation strategy that the distillery now has its oak forest in Missouri. Barrels produced in the USA dry 2 years before being rented at Heaven Hill or Jack Daniel's, then cross the Atlantic and can finally accommodate Glenmorangie.
