Glenmorangie Côte De Beaune Finish 12 Year Old Limited Edition 2003 (70cl, 46%) ***sold***
This extra special limited edition Glenmorangie single malt was aged for 12 years and bottled in 2003 under the Côte de Beaune Wood Finish label.
This rare Highlander is one of just 3000 bottles that comes with original presentation box.
Matured for 10 years in ex-bourbon casks, this fine example of the distillery's pioneering wood program was given a 2 year finish in Cote De Beaune Premier Cru wine casks.
Despite being owned by blenders, MacDonald & Muir, for most of the 20th century, Glenmorangie had an early focus on bottling its single malt. Some records show that its single malt was being sold as early as the late 19th century. This became the distillery's main output in 1959, and with the unique flavours derived from Scotland's tallest stills, Glenmorangie is now one of the world's biggest selling malts. As a result, the distillery portfolio over the years has been extensive, and little has been spared for independent bottlers. Pioneers of cask finishes, the distillery has never shied away from experimentation, and under the guiding hand of Maestro Dr Bill Lumsden they continue to release a variety of expressions to keep "The Sixteen Men of Tain" rushed off their feet.
