One of the world's best-selling old single malts, Glenmorangie's spirit flows from Scotland's tallest stills, over 16 feet tall for those that are counting. Over the years Bill Lumsden has been at the forefront of research into the influence of the cask on whisky and as such Glenmorangie is the leading exponent of whisky 'finishes', be that sherry, wine or virgin oak. The distillery selects its wood from the Mark Twain forest in the Ozark mountains and ensures that the wood is air dried rather than kilned.

This whisky was selected from vintages ranging from 1976 and 1979.

In 1989 eight casks of whisky were selected to be finished in casks that had previously held Claret from Pauillac in Bordeaux.

Cask Type: American White Oak finished in Claret casks.

43% ABV / 70cl

Bottle Number: 304
