- Description
- Distilled in 1977 during a pivotal transition year when Glenmorangie ended its floor malting operations, this vintage captures the distillery's shift to lightly peated malt from Murray Firth—a historic moment frozen in the bottle. Aged until 1998 and bottled at 43% ABV, the spirit reflects the character of that transitional period in the distillery's production methods. This is a whisky more valuable for its provenance and the snapshot of Glenmorangie's evolution than for detailed tasting notes that time may have obscured. Collectors and historians will prize this bottling as a marker of distillery change.
