Limited Bottling to commemorate the 150th Anniversary of the official opening of the Glenmorangie distillery. 70cl. 43%. In wooden presentation box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA milestone release from Glenmorangie, this limited edition 1971 vintage was bottled to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the official opening of Glenmorangie Distillery in 1843.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLikely bottled in 1992 in preparation for the distillery's anniversary celebrations, although production may have extended into early 1993, the Glenmorangie 1971 was released in both 70cl and 750ml formats. The whisky had therefore spent 21-22 years maturing before bottling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe whisky was matured in selected American mountain oak casks, with the rear label noting that the spirit was laid down in Glenmorangie's low, stone-built, earth-floored warehouses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis release belongs to a particularly interesting period in Glenmorangie's history, when the distillery was beginning to showcase its older stocks through a series of prestigious vintage and long-aged bottlings. These releases pre-date many of the wood-finished expressions that would become an important part of Glenmorangie's identity later in the decade and offered an opportunity to experience mature spirit distilled during an earlier era at Tain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe anniversary marked an important point in Glenmorangie's history. The distillery was officially established in 1843 by William Matheson near Tain in the northern Highlands, and by its 150th anniversary had developed from a relatively small Highland operation into one of Scotland's best-known single malt producers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e","brand":"Whisky-Online Auctions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58691659202941,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Glenmorangie 1971 - 150th Anniversary 1843-1993-Lot Id:0626-449","offer_id":58691659268477,"sku":"0626-449","price":420.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0529\/0036\/4446\/files\/0626-449-1_330fe1fb-9c11-479c-95b7-295424241479.jpg?v=1789589934","url":"https:\/\/whisky-onlineauctions.com\/products\/glenmorangie-1971-150th-anniversary-1843-1993-lot-id-0626-449","provider":"Whisky-Online Auctions","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
