- Description
- Glenmorangie's Special Reserve draws from a vatting of casks filled between 1980 and 1990, capturing the distillery's signature approach to gentle distillation and wood management across a decade of production. The whisky displays the characteristic floral and vanilla notes Glenmorangie is known for, with subtle oak influence from its extended maturation in quality casks. This bottling suits those seeking a refined Highland dram with depth and balance, best enjoyed neat or with a touch of water to open the palate.
