Glenmorangie Pride 1978 Single Malt Scotch Whisky

In 1978, Glenmorangie, a world-renowned distillery located in the Highlands region of Scotland, distilled and laid down for maturation a single malt whisky in its finest first-fill bourbon casks. The whisky spent 19 years aging in those previous oak casks before Dr. Bill Lumsden, Glenmorangie’s Master of Whisky Creation, noticed the superb character that had developed, and had a radical idea to further enhance and transform the whisky. Rather than bottle the whisky shortly thereafter, Lumsden decided to age the whisky in the ex-Bordeaux casks for an incredible 15 years, the longest-ever period a Glenmorangie whisky has undergone additional maturation. "The wine barrels I used for the extra maturation were very rare, very special, and I wanted to try to get the very best out of them — and that’s ended up resulting in Pride 1978," says Lumsden. Bottled in 2012, 34 years after the whisky was first distilled, Glenmorangie Pride 1978 is the rarest expression released by the distillery to date.

Tasting Notes

Sweet, woody aroma filled with chestnuts and cedar, with additional scents of toffee, fudge and red fruits, particularly cherries. More baked fruits appear on the palate, which is balanced by oak and Eastern spices, including cinnamon, cardamom and cumin. Finish is subtle and everlasting, with creamy vanilla, milk chocolate, café au lait and citrus fruits all coming together.
