Glenmorangie Grand Vintage Malt 1996
Limited Edition
Glenmorangie’s whisky-makers have come up with a limited
edition Glenmorangie Grand Vintage Malt 1996, the oldest
whisky matured in Glenmorangie’s bespoke casks, aged for
23 years.
The Highland whisky makers journeyed to the forests
on Missouri’s Ozark Mountains in the United States where
American white oaks were handpicked. Air-dried and
handcrafted into casks and seasoned with select bourbon, the
first bespoke casks were ready by 1996.
Each year since then, Dr Bill Lumsden, director of
Whisky Creation, Glenmorangie, has crafted these bespoke
casks in small numbers. He also created two coveted releases
of the limited-edition Glenmorangie Astar and the heart of
Glenmorangie Original.
Aged entirely in first-fill casks, the Grand Vintage Malt
1996 has a unique, creamy depth and a fruity, floral intensity.
The Clicquot limited Tape Edition
Retro Celebration
Veuve Clicquot has gone retro in celebration of the House’s
prevailing love of beautiful objects. The new Clicquot Tape
limited edition is based on the iconic audiocassette from the
1970s and 80s.
In its heyday, the cassette tape represented a powerful
vector for personal expression. This was the same notion that
inspired the Clicquot Tape.
The collection of six bold and eye-catching retro designs
features the House’s iconic yellow, as well as disco, iridescent
and zebra motifs.
