- Description
- An 18-year-old from the 1980s, a transformative decade for Glenmorangie when on-site floor maltings closed and the four-still configuration established itself. Aged longer than standard bottlings, this expression offers deeper complexity than contemporary releases, with mature oak influence alongside the distillery's traditional citrus and vanilla foundation. A window into Glenmorangie's evolution during a pivotal operational period.
