Single Malt
Scotland

A rather glorious Glenmorangie single malt here, distilled back in 1996! The oak in which it slumbered hails from the Ozark Mountains in Missouri and the casks were seasoned with bourbon, adding a luscious, creamy depth to the whisky. Eventually, the Grand Vintage Malt was released as the sixth bottling in the ever-brilliant Bond House No.1 series. A gorgeous, silky spirit from the Highland distillery.

Warm baking spices, cinnamon, custard, toffee, vanilla, so opulent. Custard tarts and a hint of espresso – it’s like a Portuguese breakfast here.
Super creamy, very smooth, dark chocolate, coffee, and salted caramel with fresh peach and pear fruit, it’s like a super-charged 10 Year Old. But it’s not all sweet and smooth, there’s aromatic tobacco and menthol notes lurking in the background.
It’s back to custard, long and lingering with vanilla, cinnamon and almond plus that faint aromatic herbal note.
