This dry, powerful and rich 27-year-old whisky was distilled in 1996 and laid down in bourbon casks. In 2005, Dr Bill poured a select parcel into prestigious Italian red wine casks, sourced from Barbaresco, in the renowned wine region of Piedmont. These casks had never previously been used at the Distillery – and he imagined the deep, luscious flavours they might bring to Glenmorangie.
After an exceptionally long finish of more than 18 years, his experiment resounds with hints of leather, rich spices and eucalyptus.
