SOLD OUT

The second release in Glenmorangie's The Bond House No.1 Series, this 27 year old 1989 vintage Glenmorangie was bottled at 43%. Some of the whisky was matured in ex-Côte-Rôtie wine casks from the northern Rhône in France.

Producer Description: "Created from an irreplaceable spirit celebrated in an inimitable assemblage of casks, Glenmorangie Grand Vintage Malt 1989 is the second release in our exclusive Vintage Collection, Bond House No. 1. This rich and complex whisky emerged from some of the final spirit ever distilled in our former still house – home to Scotland’s tallest stills for more than a century. As it lay maturing, the vintage’s distinctive character inspired an exceptional marriage of whiskies, conceived to complement the most prestigious parcel of all – finished in ex-Côte- Rôtie wine casks. After 27 years of judicious maturation, the subtle finesse of Glenmorangie unites with a rare intensity, in a momentous single malt."

Distiller's Tasting Note

Aroma: Astonishingly complex, with toasted marshmallows, almonds and a perfumed top note emerging alongside vanilla and fudge. Baked apples burst forth with red fruits, blackcurrants and tropical fruits, followed by freshly baked bread, beeswax and a hint of wood smoke.

Palate: Syrupy textures and a peppery sensation on the palate, lead to the richness of baked apples,
buttery fudge and gentle citrus notes.

Finish: Orange blossom entwines with honey, eucalyptus oil, aniseed and leather in a long and
powerful finish, ending with classic wood spices and oak shavings.
