Glenmorangie Highland Single Malt Scotch Grand Vintage Malt 1998

Up till this point, virgin charred oak barrels were not used at the distillery, just used bourbon barrels and other types. But Lumsden decided it was time to explore new maturation territory because of the intensity of flavor that new wood will give a whisky compared to barrels that have been used multiple times. “And one my first experiments was with new charred oak casks. At the heart of Glenmorangie Grand Vintage Malt 1998 is a parcel of that experimental whisky. Aged in those casks for 23 years, it gives the limited edition a wonderful spicy note and an amber glow. With aromas of apples and plums and tastes of orange chocolate and clove, this whisky brings a new dimension to Glenmorangie’s elegance.”
