- Description
- A rare commemorative bottling of just 346 bottles from 1987 vintage Glenmorangie, released in 2004 at cask strength (56.4%) to mark the distillery's sale to Moët Hennessy and signed by then-CEO Paul Neep. This vintage captures pre-millennium Glenmorangie at higher proof, offering deeper oak influence and richer body than standard releases of that era. A significant collectors' bottle marking a pivotal moment in the distillery's ownership history.
