Glenmorangie distillery (pronounced with the stress on the second syllable: listen ⓘ; the toponym is believed to derive from either Gaelic Gleann Mòr na Sìth " vale of tranquillity" or Gleann Mór-innse " vale of big meadows") [3] is a distillery in Tain, Ross-shire, Scotland, that produces single malt Scotch whisky. Apparently newer 10 year olds have a lot of this Aster type liquid in it to give it that extra edge. So that should be something interesting to look forward to. It starts with the release of the 1963 vintage in 1987, then moves on to the original Glenmorangie 18 Year Old launch in 1990. A Port Wood Finish follows in 1994, Madeira and Tain l’Hermitage in 1995, and a fully-formed Glenmorangie Wood Finish Range in 1996. Whiskybase B.V.

The Astar’s extraordinary casks are hewn from hand-selected slow-grown oak trees from the Ozark mountains of Missouri, and meticulously crafted to exacting specifications, to ensure they impart their maximum flavour to our delicate Highland spirit.” I didn't cut this one with water, even though it was a much higher proof then the other whiskies as it didn't feel like it was needed. Very very enjoyable.

The initial Astar expression was discontinued in 2012 because of the expense of sourcing the casks but, since the acquisition of Glenmorangie by French luxury goods group LVMH, Dr Lumsden has invested in four times the number of casks. But does experimentation risk compromising the Glenmorangie style? ‘You need to have something that is recognisable as the house character,’ says McCarron. ‘That apricot, peaches kind of gig that’s going on in there.

Retrieved 1 November 2023. De eikenhouten vaten dragen nog een heel verhaal met zich mee. Het begint bij een nauwkeurige selectie van langzaam groeiende eikenbomen uit de Ozarkgebergten in Missouri. Deze bomen worden gekozen vanwege hun poreuze structuur. Naar exacte ontwerpen worden duigen gehouwen van deze eikenbomen. Deze worden minstens twee jaar lang gedroogd in de open lucht, waardoor het hout gaat ademen en zachter wordt. Zelfs in dit stadium ontwikkelt het hout al elementen van de smaak die later in de whisky te proeven zullen zijn, in het bijzonder tonen van vanille en crème brulée. The Astar is a beautiful example of a wood-driven designer whisky. It is made from 'slow growth, air seasoned, heavily toasted, lightly charred, ex-bourbon American oak barrels'. SquidgyAsh, who knows how you will feel about Glenmorangie Astar or any other whisky the next time you try it? That's why you try it again, right? Along with maybe hoping for some of the same sort of enjoyment you remembered from the first time.The classic Glenmorangie style as epitomised by Glenmorangie 10 majors on fresh fruit like oranges and peaches burnished with sweet American oak. Whisky creator Dr. Bill Lumsden is fond of saying that “that the orangey is morangey in Glenmorangie”, as a way of communicating the core flavour profile and how to pronounce the distillery name. Geur: De whisky heeft een citrus-achtige geur, opgevolgd door aroma's van custard biscuits. De whisky heeft redelijk wat tijd nodig voordat de geuren echt goed te onderscheiden zijn. Ook zijn er aroma's van jasmijn, romige vanille en citroenpudding.

Seasoned for two years and lightly toasted, heavily charred and seasoned with Bourbon for a further four years, the casks were then shipped to Scotland and filled with Glenmorangie spirit. Glenmorangie is one of the most famous distilleries and biggest selling brand names in the world. It is located next to an estuary in the north eastern Highlands, close to the small town of Tain. The distillery opened in 1843 and is now owned by multi national drinks giant, Moet Hennessy. It is also one of Scotland's largest distilleries, producing 4 million litres per year, and has the tallest set of stills in Scotland. This means that only the purest and lightest spirit reaches the condenser and gets collected for maturation. Glenmorangie is one of the few distilleries that use hard water during production (this water bubbles up from a natural spring near to the distillery) and this combined with the lighter spirit gives it distinctive characteristics. The range is extensive and covers different ages and cask finishes including sherry, port and Sauternes. The distillery tour is also excellent and we can recommend it from our last visit there. The 'Astar' is a long awaited new release that is cask strength (the alcoholic strength that the whisky is in the cask) and matured in special oak casks. This oak was specially selected by Glenmorangie and comes from a forest (that they own) in the Ozark mountains in Missouri, America.
