- Description
- This millennium-special bottling uses only first-fill ex-bourbon casks, delivering a fuller, more wood-forward profile than the standard 12-year-old expression. The first-fill maturation imparts richer vanilla, oak spice, and caramel notes while maintaining Glenmorangie's signature florality and orchard-fruit backbone. A commemorative bottling that captures the distillery's core character in a more generous style—suitable for those preferring weightier Highland malts.
