Process & Aging
Crafted from malted barley and pure Highland water, Glenmorangie 12 Year is distilled twice in the brand’s exceptionally tall copper pot stills—among the tallest in Scotland—allowing for maximum spirit purity and refinement. The whisky is then matured for 12 years in American white oak casks, which previously held bourbon, imparting subtle vanilla sweetness and smooth oak character.
Appearance
