Glenmorangie Artisan Cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky
The Art Behind Glenmorangie Artisan Cask
Glenmorangie Artisan Cask is a remarkable single malt Scotch whisky created through patience, craftsmanship, and innovation. From the very beginning, Glenmorangie set out to redefine how wood influences whisky character. As a result, Artisan Cask stands as a tribute to skilled coopers, slow-growing oak, and the iconic Glenmorangie spirit. Every stage reflects a commitment to quality, tradition, and refined flavor.
Exceptional Wood Selection from the Ozark Mountains
The journey of Glenmorangie Artisan Cask begins far from Scotland, on the shaded slopes of the Ozark Mountains in Missouri. Here, oak trees grow slowly due to poor soil and limited sunlight. Consequently, the wood develops dense growth rings and a higher proportion of earlywood. This spongier texture allows the spirit to penetrate deeply, extracting richer flavors during maturation. Unlike standard practices, the wood air-dries naturally for around two years. This gentle process opens the oak’s structure and prepares it perfectly for whisky aging.
Handcrafted Casks by the Sixteen Men of Tain
Once seasoned, the oak is shaped by master coopers into superior Artisan Casks. The inside of each cask is carefully toasted to enhance sweetness. Afterwards, a controlled charring releases signature vanilla notes. These casks first mature specially selected bourbon in non-heated Kentucky warehouses. Then, they travel to Tain, where they receive Glenmorangie’s delicate new-make spirit. Maturation takes place in traditional 19th-century warehouses under the watchful eyes of the legendary Sixteen Men of Tain.
Tasting Notes and Whisky Character
