Flavour: OrangeGingerLemon PearOakMarzipan

Glenmorangie Grand Vintage 1996 is a smooth, creamy Highland single malt matured in bespoke casks for 23 years before being bottled in 2019. Sweet, floral aromas of roses, carnations, coriander, orange, pear and creamy vanilla fill the nose. The palate offers notes of zesty oranges and lemons, vanilla fudge, ground ginger, cinnamon, oak spice and marzipan.

Long aged in a handful of our first custom-designed casks, this quintessential Glenmorangie honours our pioneering quest to find the perfect casks for our whisky.

Tasting Notes:

Color: Bright sunburst gold Nose: Fresh, floral and perfumed, with hints of roses, carnations, jasmine and a curious herbal note like coriander. Luscious mandarin orange and pear follow, with a beautiful candy sweetness, reminiscent of mixed fruit jellies. A splash of water releases even more floral notes of carnation and geranium, along with some soft, buttery vanilla.

Taste: A zesty, citrus mouthfeel leads into a powerful burst of citrus fruits like oranges and lemons, kept under control by the thread of soft, sweet vanilla and fudge. The finesse for a whisky of this age is quite remarkable, with gentle spices, such as ginger and sweet chilli and subtle oaky notes.

Finish: Delicate and dancing with almonds, pear and cake
