Glenmorangie 1987 18 Years Margaux Cask Finish Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky 46.0% ABV. - one of 3551 bottles of a outstanding Glenmorangie Single Malt!
A very rare 1987 vintage unboxed 18 years old Highland single malt scocth whisky from the Glenmorangie distillery, finished in wine casks from the Premier Cru Chateau Margaux. Only 3551 bottles were ever produced of this 1987 vintage which marries the finest French winemaking heritage with one of Scotland s favourite malt whiskies. Each bottle is hand numbered and signed by Bill Lumsden, Glenmorangie Master Distiller. The unique marriage of grape and grain offers flavours from both the wine absorbed in the maturation barracks and the unique characteristics of the wood itself. Chateau Margaux, the famous Bordeaux First Growth wine producer, sources barrels made from the Tronçais oak forest in central France, originally planted in the 17th century by Louis XIV. The climate in this region produces trees of smaller diameter which provide a fine grain and high tannin content. Powerful wood-derived flavours have been imparted into the floral, fruity complexity of the whisky. Master distiller, Mr. Bill Lumsden describes the whisky in the following words: Zesty orange, apple and ginger wine notes flood through before deeper hints of spicy black pepper and cinnamon intertwine to give an overall combination of boldness and subtlety that perfectly captures the spirited essence of Scotland and the passionate soul of France. Realize that Margaux Hemmingway was conceived over a bottle of Chateau Margaux, the wine. Approach this whisky with similar caution! A must for collectors of Glenmorangie and rare Single Malts.
