Glenmorangie

Vintage 1990 Single Malt Scotch Whisky 700mL

Glenmorangie Grand Vintage Malt 1990 marks this year of change at the Distillery, but is also memorable for another reason. The barley harvest from the previous summer proved problematic for whisky makers in 1990. It was hard to process through Scotland's distilleries and only small quantities of new-make spirit were produced. Against the odds - and to the surprise of its creators – Glenmorangie's spirit proved sublime. Nurtured for a quarter of a century in ex-bourbon casks, with a small parcel in ex-sherry casks, the result is Glenmorangie Grand Vintage Malt 1990 – a floral, fruity expression exhibiting an extraordinary level of finesse and vibrancy. The aroma is a veritable cornucopia of heady floral and fruity notes; heather honey, honeysuckle and freesia mingle with orange blossom, candied fruits, mandarin, pear and apple. The mouthfeel is silky, creamy and mouth coating, delightfully mellow and gentle.
