Glenmorangie 1981 Pride 1 Litre 

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, coupled with their pioneering use of wood finishing, 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.

Distilled in 1981 this was matured for 18 years prior to being moved to Sauternes Barriques from Chateau d’Yquem for an additional 10 years.

Presented in crafted presentation case and a litre Baccarat decanter.

Baccarat Crystal was founded in the commune of the same name in north-eastern France in 1764. The company was given permission to start the manufacture of window panes, mirrors and stemware by King Louis XV but it wasn't until 1816 when the first crystal oven was installed. For well over 250 years the company has become renowned for its high quality and craftsmanship.

One of 1,000 decanters bottled in 2010.

Due to the size and weight of this item, it will include a three bottle shipping fee.
