Hailing from the wind-swept Highlands of Scotland, the Glenmorangie Grand Vintage Malt 1990 represents the inaugural release of the prestigious Bond House No. 1 Collection. This exquisite single malt tells the story of a monumental transition in Glenmorangie's history. Distilled in 1990, a year of great change, it captures the final spirits run from the original, historic stillhouse before the transformation of the 19th-century Bond House No. 1 warehouse into the brand's new, state-of-the-art stillhouse—famed for housing Scotland's tallest, giraffe-high stills. Matured for 26 years primarily in select ex-bourbon casks with a small parcel finished in ex-Oloroso sherry casks, this expression offers an extraordinary marriage of creamy vanilla, vibrant citrus, and deep herbal complexity, serving as a liquid monument to the distillery's heritage.
