Glenmorangie 1996 Grand Vintage, Bond House No.1 Collection

Despite being owned by blenders, MacDonald & Muir, for most of the 20th century, Glenmorangie had an early focus on bottling its single malt. Some records show that its single malt was being sold as early as the late 19th century. This became the distillery's main output in 1959, and with the unique flavours derived from Scotland's tallest stills, coupled with their pioneering use of wood finishing, Glenmorangie is now one of the world's biggest selling malts. As a result, the distillery portfolio over the years has been extensive, and little has been spared for independent bottlers.

This is a spectacular release, part of their Bond House No.1 Collection which is a series of bottlings from Glenmorangie's original 19th century warehouse. Bond House No.1 was transformed into the distillery's stillhouse in 1990 in order to increase production capacity.

The sixth in the series, this was aged for 23 years in first fill casks and bottled in 2019.
