- Description
- Bottled in the 1970s before Glenmorangie doubled its still count from two to four, this 10-year-old expression represents the distillery's output during its own malting operations and a period of genuine scarcity for the brand. At 40% ABV, it delivers the classic Glenmorangie profile of orchard fruit, vanilla, and balanced oak that established its position as one of the UK's top-selling Scotch whiskies. As a 1970s release, the spirit inside reflects pre-modernisation production methods and character that no longer exists. A collector's piece that speaks to Glenmorangie's heritage as much as its liquid quality.
