- Description
- A 1979 vintage from the final full year of Glenmorangie's own maltings operation, when the distillery still operated just two stills before expansion. Bottled in 1996 at 40%, this represents a snapshot of pre-expansion Glenmorangie character. A historically significant release for those interested in the distillery's evolution and production methods of that era.
