Descripción

The Glenmorangie distillery, founded in 1843 in the Scottish Highlands near Tain, is famous for its exquisite single malt Scotch whiskies. These are distilled in the highest stills in Scotland, resulting in a particularly fine and mild distillate. Glenmorangie is known for its innovative cask finishing technique, which matures whiskies in different types of casks such as port, sherry and wine casks, giving them a unique depth of flavor.

Glenmorangie also has a strong focus on sustainability, with initiatives to reduce CO2 emissions and reuse water, making the distillery a pioneer not only in the whisky industry but also in global spirits production. The distillery remains true to its heritage while continuously working to minimize its environmental footprint while maintaining the quality of its whiskies.

Glenmorangie Grand Vintage is an outstanding bottling from the Bond House No. 1 collection, named after the largest former Glenmorangie warehouse. This warehouse, built in the 19th century, served as a maturation facility for the finest single malts until 1990. Due to increasing demand and with no scope to extend the building, Warehouse No. 1 was converted into an impressive distillery building, also known as the «Glenmorangie Highland Cathedral».

Glenmorangie Grand Vintage, distilled in 1997, is an extremely rare single malt that enjoys a 24-year maturation in ex-bourbon and Bordeaux wine casks. This exclusive maturation method gives it exceptional depth and complexity.

The Grand Vintage is the seventh bottling in the Bond House No. 1 collection and represents the exquisite craftsmanship and history of the distillery.
