This expression stands apart through its split-maturation technique: after 15 years in American white oak ex-bourbon casks, roughly 30% of the whisky is transferred to Oloroso sherry casks for three additional years before being reunited with the bourbon-matured portion. The result has earned consistent recognition at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition, where the 18-year expression has never received less than a Silver medal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuick Facts:\u003c\/strong\u003e ABV: 43% (86 proof)  |  Origin: Highlands, Scotland  |  Age: 18 Years  |  Distillery: Glenmorangie\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eProduction \u0026amp; Heritage\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGlenmorangie Distillery, located in Tain in Scotland's northern Highlands, was founded in 1843 and is now owned by LVMH (Moët Hennessy). The distillery is celebrated for operating the tallest pot stills in Scotland — standing over five meters high — which promote a lighter, more delicate spirit by allowing only the finest vapors to reach the top. For The Infinita 18 Year, the liquid spends approximately 15 years maturing in American white oak ex-bourbon barrels before the batch is divided: around 70% remains in bourbon wood while the remaining 30% moves into Oloroso sherry casks. After three more years, these two streams are married together, producing a whisky that balances the distillery's signature elegance with layered dried-fruit richness from the sherry influence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e Jasmine and lemon blossom lead the nose, followed by honeyed undertones and caramelized orange peel.

The distillery's unusually tall stills — the tallest in Scotland — produce a clean, refined new-make spirit that rewards extended aging, and 18 years in wood brings that spirit to a point of balance between oak influence and inherent character.

The Grand Vintage 1998 was distilled the same year Dr. Bill Lumsden joined as director of whisky creation, making it a product of his earliest experiments with cask selection. The liquid spent more than two decades maturing across a combination of charred virgin American oak casks, ex-bourbon casks, and oloroso sherry casks before being vatted and bottled in 2022. This triple-cask approach, anchored by the unprecedented use of new charred oak, gives the whisky a layered complexity that sets it apart from Glenmorangie's core range and other Grand Vintage releases.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e The nose opens with buttery vanilla fudge and chocolate orange before giving way to ripe tropical notes—pineapple, mango, and papaya.

The four-way finishing process — a first in Glenmorangie's 180-year history — creates a spice profile that no single cask type could achieve alone, blending Moroccan red wine oak's floral heat, Pedro Ximénez's dried-fruit richness, new charred oak's vanilla backbone, and toasted red wine cask's tannic structure. Its Gold at the 2025 International Spirits Challenge validates the ambition behind the experiment. Bottled non chill-filtered at 46% ABV, it delivers the full weight of that multi-cask maturation without compromise — a genuine outlier in a category where single-cask finishes are the norm.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Glenmorangie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46313602842793,"sku":"41332","price":99.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0680\/1024\/6313\/files\/GlenmorangieATaleofSpices750ML.webp?v=1757720317"},{"product_id":"glenmorangie-harrison-ford-limited-edition-single-malt-750ml","title":"Glenmorangie Harrison Ford Limited Edition Single Malt 750ML","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGlenmorangie Harrison Ford Limited Edition Single Malt 750ML\u003c\/strong\u003e is a Highland single malt Scotch whisky bottled at 46.5% ABV (93 proof) in a 750ml bottle. This limited release distinguishes itself through a dual-cask maturation combining classic bourbon barrels with toasted Portuguese red wine casks — a combination personally shaped by Ford's preference for a whisky with, as he put it, \"a bit more bite\" than the standard Glenmorangie range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuick Facts:\u003c\/strong\u003e ABV: 46.5%  |  Origin: Scottish Highlands  |  Style: Limited Edition, NAS  |  Distillery: Glenmorangie, Tain\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eProduction \u0026amp; Heritage\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGlenmorangie Distillery sits in Tain, Ross-shire, on the shores of the Dornoch Firth in the Scottish Highlands.

For this limited edition, the distillery married liquid matured in bourbon casks with spirit finished in toasted Portuguese red wine casks, pushing the ABV to 46.5% rather than the core range's standard 40%, delivering noticeably more body and intensity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bright, zesty citrus dominates the opening — Seville orange, lemon, and grapefruit peel arrive first, followed by honeysuckle, jasmine, and a faint beeswax polish.
