✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1843 by William Matheson on the tranquil shores of the Dornoch Firth near Tain in the Scottish Highlands, Glenmorangie is celebrated globally as a pioneer of Highland single malt Scotch whisky. The distillery is famed for possessing the tallest copper pot stills in Scotland, whose soaring swan necks allow only the lightest and purest vapours to ascend, yielding an exceptionally delicate and floral new-make spirit. Utilizing mineral-rich water from the protected Tarlogie Springs and premium Scottish barley, Glenmorangie has long led the industry in revolutionary wood management and bespoke cask finishing under the stewardship of Moët Hennessy. Their expansive portfolio ranges from the quintessential, citrus-and-vanilla-laden 'The Original' to intricate, chocolate-malt innovations like Signet and highly collectible rare vintage expressions.
