About this bottle

The first member of the Glenmorangie 1970s Collection hails from a distillation from New Year's Eve 1971. Much of that whisky was originally released in 1993 to celebrate the distillery's 150th anniversary, while some stock was kept and aged longer. This release was bottled and sold in December 1998, at 26 years old. Dr. Bill Lumsden estimates that 40% of the whisky used in this particular release was aged in sherry casks, and 60% in bourbon casks.

Generous sample of the 1971 - 1993 150th anniversary release from a buddy. Likely similar to the juice in the bottle shown here, only not aged as long. Didn’t want to start a new listing, so I’ll post it here. Nose is subtle with figs, raisins, honey dew melon, light cinnamon and oak. Palate is velvety and supple with honeyed graham cracker and melon. Short finish left me wanting more. Alas, it’s all gone.
