Glenmorangie Grand Vintage Malt 1998
$1,149.99
The 8th release in Glenmorangie's Bond House No,1 range, was built around a parcel of whisky which was filled into virgin oak by Dr. Bill Lumsden in 1998, shortly after he took over as director of whisky creation. The virgin oak matured whisky was married with classic whiskies from ex-Bourbon and Sherry casks. The whisky has been bottled at 43% and 23 years of age.
Producer Description
"The Glenmorangie Grand Vintage 1998 is like embarking on a transatlantic journey from the world of classic bourbon, to the sherry bodegas in Jerez, both finessed with virgin new charred oak. Rich with vibrant fruits, smooth toffee, and ginger, this whisky’s eloquence is a symbol of our elegant, experimental style.
"The year this whisky was distilled, there was a fresh air of enthusiasm at the Distillery. Having joined Glenmorangie some years before, Dr Bill Lumsden had just taken charge of all Glenmorangie’s whisky creation. And he was bursting with ideas for evermore delicious whiskies.
"Dr Bill was particularly eager to explore the wonders new charred oak barrels might bring to Glenmorangie’s soft, fruity spirit. And so he earmarked a handful of carefully crafted casks, tailormade to enrich the Distillery’s single malt. By charring the virgin wood of these bespoke casks for the first time, Dr Bill hoped to create a striking style of single malt, intense in colour and spice.
"Dr Bill was overjoyed by the spicy depths of his unprecedented experiment. And imagining how he might complement that whisky’s rare flavours, he set about uniting Glenmorangie’s delicacy with its toasty, buttery power.First he layered those oaky notes with soft, fruity Glenmorangie aged in first-fill bourbon casks. Then brought sweet subtlety with a hint of whisky finished in oloroso sherry casks."
Glenmorangie A Tale of Ice Cream
$111.99
The latest installment in the "A Tale of" Series is Ice Cream, a Glenmorangie matured in Bourbon, and finished in "high-vanillan casks." 46%
Producer Description
"Sweet, indulgent and wondrously creamy, our latest limited edition encapsulates the ice cream parlour’s delights. Glenmorangie A Tale of Ice Cream is the fifth release in our award-winning A Tale Of… series, which showcases our whisky creators’ relentless imagination.
"Some time ago, Dr Bill began to imagine how he could capture the lavish flavours found in an ice cream parlour in a single malt, bringing out even more sweet and creamy vanilla-like flavours in Glenmorangie’s spirit. And after a host of experiments, he and Master Blender, Gillian Macdonald, united single malt aged in bourbon casks with our first whisky finished in high-vanillin casks. These new oak casks had been especially toasted to bring out more vanilla qualities; rippling with notes of ripe peaches, vanilla and coconut, A Tale of Ice Cream takes Glenmorangie’s sweet, fruity flavours to a decadent peak. This whisky’s pastel-toned presentation box evokes the mouth-watering hues, swirls of sauce, textures, and toppings found in the most luxurious ice cream parlours."
