Glenmorangie 1999 Rare Cask #9 - 44,8%
Glenmorangie started producing in 1843 in an reconstructed brewery. In 1887 the distillery was completely new constructed. It is located in the northern Highlands in Tain. Stories tell that its whisky has never been sold for making blends. There used to be an old rule that claimed that there should always be sixteen men in the distillery making the whisky. This is why the distillery is also known under the name ' The sixteen men of Tain'. Glenmorangie even has own forests where it gets its wood for the casks from. Therefore it has a big impact on the development of using different wood and cask types during making whisky. Today the distillery is owned by Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy.

GLENMORANGIE HIGHLAND SINGLE MALT SCOTCH WHISKY CASK No. 0009
A Tropical and Toasty Whisky
UNIQUE CASK HISTORY
Cask No. 0009 captivated Dr Bill Lumsden as it matured in the cool, calm surroundings of Warehouse 32. This rare cask gives Glenmorangie a toasty and tropical twist.
The spirit was distilled on Tuesday 6th July 1999, under the watchful eye of Graham Eunson, then Glenmorangie’s experienced Distillery Manager. Then it was laid down in a secret selection of casks, known only to Dr Bill and his trusted team. Some 17 years later, Dr Bill was delighted by the whisky’s singular character. And inspired to enhance it still further, he transferred the whisky into a first-fill American oak bourbon cask which would highlight Glenmorangie’s classic notes. Finished in this way for a further four years, Cask No. 0009 reveals a unique complexity, layering Glenmorangie’s hallmark creamy, fruity taste with spice and tropical sweetness.
DR BILL’S PERSONAL TASTING NOTES
COLOUR: Gold.
AROMA: Sweet and fruity, with mandarin orange, peach and nectarine. Rum and-raisin ice-cream soon emerges alongside sandalwood and cedar, laced with vanilla and crème caramel. A little water opens up notes of mango and lychee.
TASTE: First comes a burst of passion fruit and peach sprinkled with demerara sugar. Toasted caramel follows on with cinnamon and ginger. Finally crystallized ginger, toasted almond and orange unite in a gloriously long finish.

More from Glenmorangie
Glenmorangie was founded in 1843 in a converted brewery and rebuilt in 1887. It is located in Tain in the Northern Highlands and is renowned for never having sold its whisky to blenders. It is also known as “The Sixteen Men of Tain”—an old rule stipulating that there should always be 16 men producing whisky at the distillery. Glenmorangie owns its own forests for its barrels and has played a major role in developing the use of different types of wood and casks in whiskey production. The current owner is Louis Vuitton Moët Hennessy.
Content: 0.7 Litre (€107.00 / 1 Litre)
This Glenmorangie is part of the “A Tale of…” series. This series offers exceptional bottlings that stand out from the distillery’s classic bottlings. “A Tale of Spices” focuses on the diverse world of oriental spices. Red wine casks, Pedro Ximénez sherry casks, and heavily charred virgin oak casks were used, among others, to achieve the goal of naturally creating the profound complexity and warmth of spices through careful cask selection.
Content: 0.7 Litre (€121.29 / 1 Litre)
The new edition of Glenmorangie Lasanta was initially matured for 14 years in bourbon casks and then transferred to Oloroso sherry casks for the final 12 months. This maturation gives the single malt a round and balanced character with sweet and floral aromas of chocolate and spices.
Content: 0.7 Litre (€89.86 / 1 Litre)
The whisky matures for the longest time of its twelve years in bourbon barrels (= 8 years) before it receives a finish in Palo Cortado sherry barrels (= 4 years). The special feature of the maturation are the Palo Cortado casks, whose former content is one of the rarest sherry varieties. This Glenmorangie is also the first bottling of the distillery from these Palo Cortado casks. The taste alternates the typically sweet and spicy flavours of a Glenmorangie. The finish is particularly striking and a great strength of this whisky. The finish is extremely long-lasting, graceful and is accompanied by an elegant nuttiness.
Content: 0.7 Litre (€114.14 / 1 Litre)
This bottling from Glenmorangie is absolutely unique. The malt was dried over botanicals during the production of the whisky. This method resulted in a lively and peppery single malt with aromas of pine, mint, eucalyptus and bitter oranges, accompanied by bittersweet notes and some wood smoke. The illustrator Pomme Chan was commissioned to design the bottle and outer packaging. Thus, a fantasy forest was also created on the packaging, which perfectly underscores the aromas of the whisky.
Content: 0.7 Litre (€135.71 / 1 Litre)
The X by Glenmorangie was developed with mixologists to create a sweeter and fuller taste. It is specially designed for mixing and to take classic cocktails to a new level. It has delicious flavors of pear, vanilla and honeysuckle orange that can be used to transform even the simplest drink into something extraordinary.
Content: 0.7 Litre (€42.71 / 1 Litre)
The name of this bottling derives from the casks used for finishing: Ruby Port casks.
Content: 0.7 Litre (€75.57 / 1 Litre)
The Glenmorangie 18 “The Infinita” matured in Oloroso sherry and bourbon casks.
