Glenmorangie 1989 Grand Vintage
Matured in Bond House No.1 and bottled at 43%, the new Glenmorangie 1989 is the latest Grand Vintage release from this distillery.
It’s a 27-year-old single malt matured partly in Côte-Rôtie red wine casks. Just over 6000 bottles will be available for around € 650.
anCnoc Peatheart
anCnoc Peatheart is a new peated release, their most peated expression so far (40 ppm ‘heavily peated’) in the growing smoky range from this distillery. It’s a NAS bottling at 46%, matured in bourbon barrels and apparently it will come in numbered batches.
Update: available from Master of Malt among others.
