Glenmorangie - Highland Grand Vintage Malt Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Glenmorangie Grand Vintage Malt 1997, is vivacious and floral. With a heart aged in rare Chateau Montrose red wine casks, from Saint-Estephe in Bordeaux, this single malt recalls a radiant new dawn at Glenmorangie.
Never attempted before or since at our Distillery, he hoped to create a Glenmorangie dramatically different from any other.
A full 13 years later, that single malt developed extraordinary berried depths. Delighted, Dr Bill began devising a complex marriage of casks to enhance its unparalleled Htaste. Taking whisky wholly aged in bourbon casks, he hinted at Glenmorangie's hallmark citrus notes. With whisky finished for many years in oloroso sherry casks, he brought layers of sweetness and spicy finesse, while a skilful selection of secret casks also played their part.
Aged to perfection over 23 years, Glenmorangie Grand Vintage Malt 1997 brims with red fruits and candied sweetness. As vivid as Dr Bill's dream for our whisky, it wondrously celebrates our kaleidoscopic style
Nose Warm baking spices, cinnamon, custard, toffee, vanilla, so opulent. Custard tarts and a hint of espresso
Palate Super creamy, very smooth, dark chocolate, coffee, and salted caramel with fresh peach and pear fruit, it’s like a super-charged 10 Year Old. But it’s not all sweet and smooth, there’s aromatic tobacco and menthol notes lurking in the background.
Finish It’s back to custard, long and lingering with vanilla, cinnamon and almond plus that faint aromatic herbal note.
