    Overview

    Glenmorangie Grand Vintage Malt 1998


    Grand Vintage Malt 1998 is like embarking on a transatlantic journey from the world of classic bourbon, to the sherry bodegas in Jerez, both finessed with virgin new charred oak. 

    Rich with vibrant fruits, smooth toffee, and ginger, this whisky's eloquence is a symbol of our elegant, experimental style. Delicate and spicy with a wonderful amber glow, this whisky showcases some of the first Glenmorangie ever aged in new charred oak. Dr Bill was particularly eager to explore the wonders new charred oak barrels might bring to Glenmorangie's soft, fruity spirit. 

    And so he earmarked a handful of carefully crafted casks, tailormade to enrich the Distillery's single malt. By charring the virgin wood of these bespoke casks for the first time, Dr Bill hoped to create a striking style of single malt, intense in colour and spice. Dr Bill used most of these early casks to wood finish whisky, balancing their spice with Glenmorangie's complex fruits. 

    But with a true creator's vision, he also filled a few with new-make spirit, dreaming of a spectacular single malt. He left those experimental new char casks to age in the cool, quiet of an earth-floored warehouse for more than two decades. As he waited, the spirit transformed into a deliciously buttery whisky, surging with vanilla, chocolate laced with orange, ginger and sweet chilli. 

    In addition he layered those oaky notes with soft, fruity Glenmorangie aged in first-fill bourbon casks. Then brought sweet subtlety with a hint of whisky finished in oloroso sherry casks. Aged 23 years, his creation bursts with ripe fruits and rich orange chocolate, gently threaded with sugared almonds and spice. 

    Extraordinarily vibrant, Glenmorangie Grand Vintage Malt 1998 amplifies the Distillery's signature elegance with a glorious spicy glow.

    Introduction:
    Glenmorangie's whisky makers use endless imagination and five key ingredients - wood, water, barley, yeast and time - to dream up delicious single malt whiskies. They've been honing their craft for more than 175 years. They create a delicate and fruity spirit in stills as tall as a giraffe to allow for more taste and aroma. Led by Director of Whisky Creation Dr Bill Lumsden, this crackerjack crew are on a mission to bring new flavours and possibilities to the world of single malt.

    The Bond House No.1 Collection's vintage expressions are all exceptionally fine and smooth. The series celebrates Glenmorangie's most prestigious aged whiskies with particularly delicious results. It is named after Bonded Warehouse No. 1 - the largest of Glenmorangie's traditional 19th-century warehouses - transformed into the Distillery's majestic new still house in 1990.
