Glenmorangie Grand Vintage Single Malt 1997

Aged in bourbon casks for almost a decade after distillation in 1997, a parcel of the new single malt whisky was then transferred into a handful of Château Montrose red wine casks, from the Saint-Estèphe appellation of Bordeaux, for an additional 13 aging years to create what was described as “extraordinary berried depths.

“Glenmorangie Grand Vintage Malt 1997 is a dramatically different whisky, vibrant with red berries and tingling spice, melting marzipan and floral notes,” Director of Whisky Creation Dr. Bill Lumsden said in a prepared statement. “Inspired by my dream of a more expressive single malt, it wonderfully embodies Glenmorangie’s kaleidoscopic style.”
