AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Distillery: Glenmorangie
Age: 28 Years Old
ABV: 56.7%
Volume: 70cl
Vintage: 1981
Condition: Sealed, unopened
Glenmorangie is a renowned Highland distillery, established in 1843 in Tain, Ross-shire. It is celebrated globally for its pioneering approach to wood management and its distinctive, elegant spirit, crafted in Scotland's tallest stills. The distillery holds a prestigious position among collectors, known for its consistent quality, innovative expressions, and the significant investment potential of its limited and rare releases. Its commitment to crafting whiskies of exceptional complexity and refinement has cemented its status as a cornerstone of fine Scotch whisky.
The Glenmorangie Pride 1981 is an exceptionally rare and highly coveted expression, marking the inaugural release in the esteemed 'Pride' series. This particular whisky underwent an extended maturation, initially in American white oak ex-bourbon casks before a significant finishing period in a small number of highly prized Château d'Yquem Sauternes wine barriques. Its limited production and the meticulous crafting process, showcasing Glenmorangie's innovative wood policy, make it an essential and highly sought-after bottle for serious collectors and connoisseurs of ultra-premium Scotch whisky.
Tasting Notes:
Colour: Deep burnished gold
Nose: Rich and complex with notes of tropical fruits, lime, honey, vanilla, and hints of toasted almonds and ginger.
Palate: Luxuriously full-bodied, offering a symphony of sweet citrus, apricot, peach, crème brûlée, and delicate spice, balanced by a subtle oak influence.
Finish: Exceptionally long and satisfying, with lingering sweetness, a touch of spice, and a gentle, drying oak character.
