Production of the The Original 12 Years Old Single Highland Malt from Glenmorangie

The production of the The Original 12 Years Old Single Highland Malt from Glenmorangie is based on a traditional yet innovative distillation craft that has been maintained for generations. The foundation is carefully selected malted barley, processed with the utmost care. The barley is first malted to activate the enzymes and convert the starch into sugars. These are then combined with water in special mash tuns to initiate fermentation. The result is an aromatic vodka-yeast mash that is distilled in copper pot stills. Distillation takes place twice to ensure the purity and finesse of the spirit. In particular at Glenmorangie, this distillate gains an elegant note through maturation in selected oak casks that previously held fortified wines or bourbon. The 12-year maturation optimally brings out the complex aromas and ensures a balanced flavor. The result is a product that reflects a fusion of tradition and innovation and, thanks to its unique distillation process, guarantees a vibrant taste experience.
