Glenmorangie 1993 - 2004. Burr Oak Reserve. One of 1,152 bottles. 70cl. 56.3%. In presentation box.
A small batch limited edition Glenmorangie 1993 Burr Oak Reserve released by the distillery in 2004 at full cask strength. One of the most successful of the young Bill Lumsden’s wood experiments, this whisky was matured full term in a handful of charred new oak casks made with Missouri burr oak (quercus macrocarpa), a large oak native to North America that boasts the largest acorns of any native oak species.
Glenmorangie Burr Oak was a limited edition of just 1152 bottles released at its natural cask strength of 56.3%. One of the most bourbonesque of the distillery’s official bottlings, Glenmorangie Burr Oak sold out immediately on release and subsequently became highly sought-after among Glenmorangie fans.
Glenmorangie is the 10th largest malt whisky distillery in Scotland with a capacity of around 6.5m litres per year, but punches above its weight in sales volumes, where it is ranked 5th in the world for single malt Scotch whisky. Glenmorangie was expanded to its current 12 stills in 2009, and capacity has recently been augmented with the addition of two extra stills in 2021 for a separate, experimental distillery onsite exploring possible future innovations in distillation technique.
Glenmorangie is almost never independently bottled, although teaspooned casks occasionally appear as Westport. The official core range comprises the classic Glenmorangie age statement and wood finish editions alongside the popular Signet expression, which uses a proportion of chocolate malt, and a variety of small batch and limited edition bottlings each year. In 2024 a new 12-year-old edition replaced the iconic Glenmorangie Original 10-year-old.
Distillery bottlings are, as the name suggests, bottled by or for the distillery from which the whisky has originated and are thus often referred to as Official Bottlings or OBs. Distillery bottlings are generally more desirable for collectors and usually fetch higher prices at auction than independent bottlings. They are officially-endorsed versions of the whisky from a particular distillery and are therefore considered the truest expression of the distillery’s character.
This ideal of the distillery character is regarded so seriously by the distilleries and brand owners that casks of whisky that are considered to vary too far from the archetype are frequently sold on to whisky brokers and independent bottlers. When this happens, it is often with the proviso that the distillery’s name is not allowed to be used when the cask is bottled for fear of diminishing or damaging the distillery’s character and status.
