Age:    Strength: 46%
Vintage: 1981   Bottler: 
Summary: 70cl / 46% / Distillery Bottling – A perfect example of what wood-finishing (so often reviled by some) can achieve, Glenmorangie 1981 spent the last two of its 21 years of maturation in casks formerly containing Chateau d'Yquem. A legendary 'Morangie.

Age:    Strength: 46%
Summary: 70cl / 46% – The new Amrut Indian Single Malt has been beefed up to 46% and we can't wait to try it. The peated cask-strength stuff is excellent and this should be a significant improvement on the old 40% bottling.
