in a prepared statement. “The result is a single malt with a rich plum character, deep, mellow aromas and tastes of ripe fruits and milk chocolate. Glenmorangie Grand Vintage Malt 1991 honours those early pioneers who dedicated themselves to the art of the wood finish in 1991, whose work still guides us today.”
As with the 1990, 1989 and 1993 Grand Vintage Malt bottlings before this one, the 1991 is being targeted towards collectors both in price point at £630 (around $790 USD) and also packaging presentation. You’ll find some official tasting notes below for your consideration.
- Colour: Ochre
- Nose: 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.
- Taste: 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.
- Finish: A hint of zesty citrus and finally an intriguing combination of oak, fruit and sweet spices.
