From Glenmorangie's website: A single malt whisky beyond comparison, Glenmorangie Pride 1981 is the culmination of 28 years of passion, patience and artistry.

As its name implies, the birth date was 1981 – in the month of October - when the original liquid was distilled and laid down for maturation in Glenmorangie’s finest oak casks.

The intention had always been to create an exquisite vintage 18-Year-Old, yet in 1999, Dr Bill Lumsden acquired the key to crafting an even more outstanding whisky: a limited quantity of Sauternes barriques from the fabled vineyards of Chateau d’Yquem.

Thus the whisky was extra-matured for 10 more years in those prized casks - the longest period any Glenmorangie whisky has ever undergone extra-maturation.

The Decanter Design Over the past decade Laurence Brabant has established herself as one of the design world’s most talented glassware specialists. In 2000, Brabant launched her first collection, which was bought in its entirety by the National Fund for Contemporary Arts in Paris. For Glenmorangie Pride 1981, Laurence’s luxurious Baccarat Crystal decanter was inspired by the very casks in which the whisky matured and is designed to showcase the rich, opulent gold liquid to maximum effect.

The Coffret Design: After studying industrial design at both the Technical University of Delft and the Design Academy Eindhoven, Wouter Scheublin immediately started his own studio. This freedom allowed him to explore his fascination for construction and mechanics resulting in, for example, a ‘walking furniture’ series. To create the strikingly handsome gift case for Glenmorangie Pride 1981, Wouter took inspiration from traditional whisky and wine packaging. The incredible result is a gift case which reflects the delicate balance between the science and artistry of whisky maturation.
