Inspired by the unique natural environment that surrounds him Dr. Bill Lumsden, Director of Distilling and Distilling Creation and Whisky Creation, set out to encapsulate the essence of the Firth in a special limited edition release.
To represent the rugged, windswept coastline, Dr. Bill created a robust, strong, strong, strong and strong spirit.
created a stout, extra matured or "finished in ammoniated sherry butts," to represent the rugged, windswept coastline.
in amontillado sherry butts in one of our traditional maceration cellars. The new spirit, with its peaty undercurrent, adds an unexpected dimension of distant sweet and smoky apples, complemented by vibrant, nutty sweet flavors layered over the rich, warm caramel and dried fruit that only an Amontillado wood
can impart.
To reflect the tranquility of the Firth, when Tarbat Ness, some 16 miles away, can be seen from the distillery, Dr. Bill crafted an elegant spirit using ex-bourbon American white oak casks to bring layers of floral, vanilla and citrus notes, reflective of the Glenmorangie house and contributing to the refinement of Glenmorangie Dornoch.
The balance of these two plots creates a malt whiskey that extends the beautiful environment in which Glenmorangie is born. It has matured slowly in the 19th century on damp earth soils, protected by stone walls from the banks of the Dornoch Firth, which is just a few meters away. The salty waters help maintain a constant temperature throughout the seasons and offer shelter from North Sea storms - perfect conditions for maturing our complex and elegant malt whiskies.
Glenmorangie Dornoch is inspired by our sense of place, a celebration of the distillery's distinctive location. The Dornoch Firth is not only renowned for its vital marine habitats, but is deeply rooted in the 170-year history of our distillery, which relies on natural resources to craft our extraordinary malt whiskies.
TASTING NOTES
COLOR: The warm gold of Glenmorangie The Tayne shimmers in the glass with a soft amber hue, evoking a sense of warmth and hospitality. The light shines through with brilliant clarity, as if reflecting the sun on a clear day over the Scottish highlands. Bright but with a depth that promises complexity, this colour invites you to discover the layers hidden within.
NOSE: As you approach the glass, an explosion of fruit immediately presents itself: juicy peaches and ripe pears make their way through, accompanied by a light citrus note that recalls the freshness of a summer breeze. As it settles, more sophisticated touches emerge: creamy vanilla, like a sweet whisper, and a soft presence of toasted almond, which adds a layer of softness. In the background, a subtle note of oak wood blends perfectly with the delicate floral aroma, creating a balance that invites further exploration. The air is filled with a complexity that, with each inhalation, seems to reveal something new – a complexity that is not aggressive, but elegant and subtle.
TASTE: On the palate, Glenmorangie The Tayne presents itself with a silky smooth texture, enveloping the palate effortlessly. The first sip shows a fruity profile, where green apple and peach bring a vibrant freshness, followed by a creaminess reminiscent of vanilla custard with a hint of golden honey. Over time, the flavour unfolds and becomes more complex: spicy tones begin to make their appearance, with a light touch of cinnamon and a hint of nutmeg, adding a subtle and refined warmth. Notes of white chocolate emerge in the background, mingling with a light woody sensation that leaves a pleasant and lingering imprint. The finish is smooth but persistent, with a combination of oak and a delicate touch of dried fruits that slowly fade away, leaving a feeling of balance and fullness.
