Glenmorangie has unveiled the third release from its Bond House No.1 Collection, Grand Malt Vintage 1993. The limited-edition whisky is available exclusively in travel retail with prices from £512/€575.
The 25-year-old single malt is a creation of Dr Bill Lumsden, Glenmorangie’s Director of Whisky Creation, Distilling & Whisky Stocks. He matured it for a decade in bourbon casks, before finishing in Bual Madeira casks for 15 years, achieving a “rich, bittersweet” taste.
Dr Lumsden said: “The flinty intensity of Glenmorangie Grand Vintage Malt 1993 is a rare tribute to the Distillery’s new, more exacting approach to whisky creation. Before, we might never have dared such a long finish – and left this expression’s depths undiscovered.
“With an intriguing mineral note interlaced with its fruity aromas, rich, honeyed tastes and subtle woodsmoke, this whisky’s delicious contrasts will give travelling collectors and visitors to our Highland Distillery a unique insight into our Bond House No. 1 Collection.”
Glenmorangie’s Bond House No. 1 Collection takes its name from the largest of Glenmorangie’s 19th century bonded warehouses. For generations, Warehouse No. 1 was home to the Distillery’s casks of maturing spirit until, in 1990, it was transformed into a still house.
