Bottled 1990. A combination of 8 casks distilled between 1976 and 1979 finished in First Growth Claret Casks. 70cl. 43%. In wooden presentation box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn increasingly rare early example of Glenmorangie’s pioneering work with secondary cask maturation, this Claret Wood Finish was bottled in 1990 and is one of the distillery’s most interesting experimental releases from the period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe whisky was created from a combination of eight casks of vintage Glenmorangie distilled between 1976 and 1979. These had initially been matured in American white oak barrels before the whisky was transferred in 1989 into casks that had previously held First Growth Claret from Pauillac, Bordeaux.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe additional maturation in these prestigious wine casks was particularly adventurous for Scotch whisky at the time, predating the widespread adoption of wine-cask finishing that Glenmorangie would subsequently help popularise. Bottled at 43%, the release was presented as a limited edition, with the distillery describing it as one of the most outstanding expressions of Glenmorangie they had produced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA fascinating and increasingly difficult-to-find Glenmorangie, representing the formative period of the distillery's experiments with wood finishing that would become such an important part of its identity during the following decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e","brand":"Whisky-Online Auctions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58691659432317,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Glenmorangie Claret Wood Finish - 1990 Release-Lot Id:0626-451","offer_id":58691659530621,"sku":"0626-451","price":180.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0529\/0036\/4446\/files\/0626-451-1_a84e599a-9f2b-478b-b991-e4575328d801.jpg?v=1789589946","url":"https:\/\/whisky-onlineauctions.com\/products\/glenmorangie-claret-wood-finish-1990-release-lot-id-0626-451","provider":"Whisky-Online Auctions","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
