Key Details and Characteristics
This expression was a travel retail exclusive, bottled at the traditional British 100 proof, and is highly regarded by enthusiasts.
- Status: It is a discontinued and highly collectible expression, meaning it is no longer widely available through standard retailers and is typically found through specialist sellers or auctions.
- Strength: Bottled at 57.2% ABV (Alcohol by Volume), which corresponds to 100 degrees of the old British/Scottish proof system.
- Filtration: It is unchill-filtered, preserving its full body and flavour, a key difference from the standard Glenmorangie 10-Year-Old at the time of its release.
- Maturation: Matured for 10 years in American oak casks (sometimes described as “mountain oak”).
- Flavour Profile: Reviewers note intense and complex flavours of vanilla, citrus, honey, creamy toffee, and tropical fruits. Some also detect notes of chocolate, tobacco, and oak. The higher strength amplifies these notes, and a few drops of water can help release a different range of subtle aromas.
