- Description
- The distillery manager selected this 1981 vintage for bottling in 1998, capturing a year the Glenmorangie team held in high regard. At cask strength, it retains the distillery's characteristic orchard fruit and floral notes, amplified by wood influence and concentration. A rare insight into how Glenmorangie's own bottlers viewed their spirit at its peak.
