Glenmorangie Grand Vintage 1991 43% ABV 700ml
About the Glenmorangie Grand Vintage 1991 43% ABV 700ml
Marrying two profoundly different wood-finished whiskies, Glenmorangie Vintage Malt 1991 is the fourth limited-edition release in our celebrated Bond House No.1 collection, created to showcase some of the distillery’s most scarce vintages. The collection was named after the largest of Glenmorangie’s 19th-century bonded warehouses which was home to our casks of maturing spirit until it was transformed into our towering still house in 1990.
This whisky began in Glenmorangie’s copper stills, the tallest in Scotland. Their height ensures only the finest vapours reach the top, for a smoother, more elegant spirit. Distilled in 1991, it was long aged in bourbon casks, then transferred into different casks for finishing, to gain new dimensions of flavour. Finally, after 26 years, Dr Bill knew this exceptional malt was ready to share.
While revisiting some of 1991’s rare parcels of wood-finished whisky many years later, Dr Bill Lumsden, Glenmorangie’s Director of Distilling, Whisky Creation & Whisky Stocks, was inspired to defy convention and bring together two contrasting whisky styles. While both had been long-aged in ex-bourbon casks, one of the parcels he selected had been finished in Oloroso sherry butts for sweetness and spice; the other in Burgundy barrels for earthy, truffle notes. He then expertly softened them with a hint of whisky that had aged in new toasted oak. Married together after 26 years’ maturation, they form an expression of exceptional intensity.
