There’s one distillery in Scotland that excel in creating luxurious whisky which is appealing for the higher price segment. Glenmorangie Distillery have taken some of their most impressive whisky from Bond House No.1 and delivered it in a spectacular wooden-copper presentation box and stunning decanter bottle.

The Glenmorangie Distillery is about perfection and presentation and breaking down barriers within the industry to supply its consumers with the best possible experience. Selecting American white oak from their very own forests in Missouri’s Ozark Mountains and then seasoning it in the very best bourbon the industry has to offer. Using these first fill casks Master Distiller Dr Bill Lumsden has created a whisky that is fresh, floral and creamy.

Part of the Bond House No.1 series which has seen each release become collectables including the 1991 which was awarded Whisky of The Year at the 2019 International Whisky Competition.

Our Tasting Notes

Nose: Orchard fruits and citrus, a flower shop on Mothers day, a herb garden in spring. Vanilla and icing sugar sweetness.

Palate: Citrus balanced with creamy vanilla fudge, gingerbread and oak.

Finish: Creamed butter and sugar, icing sugar coated almonds and orchard fruits.

Official Tasting Notes

Nose: Fresh and perfumed, like a bouquet of roses, carnations and jasmine, with a piquant hint of coriander. Mandarin orange and pear follow on, enhanced by a fruity, candied sweetness.

A splash of water reveals more carnations, scents of geraniums and gentle, buttery vanilla.

Taste: A zesty, citrus mouthfeel brings a surge of oranges and lemons, tempered by ripples of vanilla and fudge. Next, with remarkable finesse for a whisky of such age, come subtle notes of ginger, sweet chilli and oak.

Finish: Delicate and dancing, with the softness of cake mix, almonds and pear.
