Glenmorangie Margaux Wine Cask Finish 29 Year Old

Rich, mellow and complex, this 29-year-old whisky was distilled in February 1995, the month Dr. Bill joined the Glenmorangie as then Distillery Manager, and was initially aged in bourbon casks. In 2004, Dr. Bill transferred the whisky into a handful of red wine casks from Margaux - one of the most renowned appellations in Bordeaux, France.

Finished in the wine casks for over 20 years - longer than any other Glenmorangie - his creation reveals intense flavors of chocolate plums and sweet chilli.

Glenmorangie's brilliant master distiller, Dr Bill Lumsden, has two great loves; whisky and wine. Dr Bill's passion for wine took him on a wondrous journey through the finest wine regions across Europe. From his travels he brought back the best casks from the top producers, building a collection that would make any wine-lover green with envy. For years he has been excited by and experimented with the possibilities of wine and whisky, resulting in great successes for Glenmorangie.

The Pursuit of Passion, wine cask collection comprises of three exceptional whiskies, finished in casks from the most renowned wine regions in the world: Burgundy, Bordeaux and Piedmont. The collection is an ode to our master distiller, Dr Bill Lumsden's, passion for wine and the wondrous journey he took to create this extraordinary set of whiskies.
