One of the most recognisable names in Scotch whisky, Glenmorangie were quick out the gates to advertise and promote their Single Malt to a global audience as early as the 1960s. While this undoubtedly played a part in the rather sizeable market share they enjoy today, some credit has to be given to the whisky itself. Their famous stills stand as tall as a fully grown adult giraffe, and as well as giving them ultimate Top Trumps bragging rights, this has the benefit of producing a smoother and more delicate spirit.
Pioneers of cask finishes, the distillery has never shied away from experimentation, and under the guiding hand of Maestro Dr Bill Lumsden they continue to release a variety of expressions to keep "The Sixteen Men of Tain" rushed off their feet.
This stunning whisky began life in October 1981, and was originally destined to be bottled as an 18 year old. However, as luck would have it Master Distiller Dr Bill Lumsden was able to acquire a limited quantity of Sauternes Barriques from the prestigious vinyards of Chateau d’Yquem. The whisky was transferred to these casks for a further 10 years, and the result is clearly something the distillery are rather proud of.
