Hailing from the legendary Glenmorangie Distillery in the Scottish Highlands, the Grand Vintage Malt Bond House No. 1 Collection pays homage to the distillery's historic 19th-century warehouse. In 1990, this grand stone building was transformed into Glenmorangie’s breathtaking stillhouse, home to Scotland’s tallest copper stills—standing at the height of an adult giraffe—which produce an exceptionally light and elegant spirit. The 2021 bottling of this esteemed collection represents a triumph of wood management, marrying spirits matured in traditional ex-bourbon casks with those finished in prized Bordeaux red wine casks. This marriage of Highland mineral-rich spring water from the Tarlogie Springs, towering stills, and meticulous cask selection yields a complex single malt brimming with floral notes, red berry sweetness, and deep, spicy undertones.
