About this bottle

This release was created by Dr. Bill Lumsden, Glenmorangie director of whisky creation, distilling & whisky stocks and is the second release in the Bond House No. 1 Vintage Collection. This marks the first time the distillery has used wine barrels from the Côte Rôtie, an AOC in the Northern Rhône wine region. This French wine region is notable for allowing up to 20% viognier grapes (white grapes) to be fermented along with syrah grapes (red grapes). Other casks used in its creation include whisky which aged in former oloroso sherry and bourbon barrels.

IrishAsian 4.3

Sweet, but not Kavalan sweet. Slight richness, slight vanilla, orange? Citrus maybe fruity is better. Warming but not over the top, lingering finish...wonderful smell and taste!

Conifer 4.8

Lovely, delicious, elegant and classic Glenmorangie notes.
