Glenmorangie 1977 21 Year Old / 1998 Edition

A rare vintage Glenmorangie, distilled in 1977 and bottled aged 21 years.

Interestingly there are several other bottlings. They are all 1977 vintage and 21 years old but have different bottling years because a proportion of the whisky in the later bottlings had been stored in vat.

As vats are not made of oak, the time in vat cannot be added onto the maturation age of the whisky i.e. a proportion of the whisky can still only be called 21 years. Hence the whisky must still be called 21 years old.

This particular bottle was filled in 1998
