Grand Vintage Malt 1996 is the 6th release in Glenmorangie's exclusive Bond House No.1 Collection. A 23 year old single Malt created from an unusual combination of casks. The expression pays tribute to 1996, a time of restless research at the distillery, especially focused on maturation and the early days of extra-maturation.
Long matured in ex-bourbon casks, two parcels were honoured with a finish lasting more than a decade. From the finest ex-Oloroso sherry casks, one gained a wonderful spice and sweetness. And, although its character seemed utterly incongruous with the bold meat and truffle notes of the parcel held within former burgundy casks, Dr Bill saw something extraordinary.
Mellow, deep, intense and fruity. Lots of apricots, plum and baked apples, with chocolate, gentle oak, and a hint of truffles and star anise. A splash of water releases deeper notes, reminiscent of hickory-smoked ham and a damp forest floor. A slightly peppery mouthfeel leads to a burst of fruity flavours intermingled with lots of milk chocolate, stewed apples, plum and ripe, red fruits such as cherry and raspberry. A hint of zesty citrus and finally an intriguing combination of oak, fruit and sweet spices.Grand Vintage 1996 is rich with a distinct sweetness making this perfect to pair with game and hearty desserts.
