INFORMATION
Glenmorangie 1971 - 1995. The Culloden Bottle. One of 2,500 bottles. 70cl. 43%.
A bottling that is all too often collected and never drunk, so much so that people have forgotten what a great dram this actually is, up there with the 1963.

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 has changed little in recent years with the classic Glenmorangie age statement and wood finish editions joined by the popular Signet expression, which uses a proportion of chocolate malt. These are joined by a wide range of small batch and limited edition bottlings each year, but Glenmorangie 25-year-old is now discontinued and worth looking out for at auction.
