Glenmorangie 1996 Grand Vintage 23 Year Old Single Malt Limited Edition 700mL

Glenmorangie 1996 Grand Vintage 23 Year Old Single Malt Limited Edition 700mL The sixth release in Glenmorangie’s Bond House No. 1 collection was distilled in 1996 and aged in first-fill bourbon casks. Made from oak handpicked from Missouri’s Ozark Mountains, these casks aren’t just any old barrels.

Rather, they were created to Glenmorangie's exacting specifications and filled with Bourbon on Glenmorangie’s instructions. The general flavour profile is reportedly similar to Glenmorangie Astar (also matured exclusively in these casks). The wood adds extra creaminess to the malt, only this is much, much older whisky than Astar. In fact, as Dr. Bill Lumsden, Glenmorangie’s Director of Distilling & Whisky Creation explains, “

This is the oldest whisky we have ever aged in our bespoke casks... Its fresh, floral aromas and luxuriously creamy tastes are gloriously enhanced by age.” The Bond House No.1 series consistently rate highly, with the 1991 Awarded Whisky of the Year at the 2019 International Whisky Competition. They're already considered good acquisitions for collectors. If you are looking to add this one to your set, be quick. Very limited stocks.
