"Der Glenmorangie Vintage 1963 23 Years Pure Old Highland Malt Whisky ist die älteste Jahrgangsabfüllung sowie der erste Whisky von Glenmorangie mit einem Finish in Sherry Casks und zählt heute zu den absoluten Raritäten unter Sammlern und Kennern. Von den wenigen heute noch verfügbaren Abfüllungen dieses besonderen Rarität von Glenmorangie gibt es nur noch ganz wenig Exemplare. Der Highland Malt Whisky durfte 22 Jahre in ausgesuchten Bourbon-Barrels reifen und erhielt dann für 1 Jahr ein Finish in Oloroso Sherry Casks.
Ein besonderes Stück Whiskygeschichte und absolute Rarität eines historischen Highland Malt Whisky von Glenmorangie für Kenner, Sammler und Liebhaber erstklassiger und exklusiver Scotch Whiskys!"
whiskybase:
“I believe this is one of, or maybe the earliest example of wine finishing made by Glenmorangie, as this nice baby was bottled around 1985 (obviously). Proof that wine finishing isn’t only a recent marketing stunt. It’s said to be quite rare and certainly expensive but I’ve seen that it’s available at several online retailers’ these days. Colour: deep gold. Nose: absolutely no Oloroso-ish nose, rather the same kinds of notes as in the new 18, only with much more oomph and expressiveness. Develops on more orangey notes (blood oranges, also pink grapefruit – not only because of the colour!), hints of pu-erh tea, something very pleasantly herbal (sorrel? Coriander?) and finally quite some stewed fruits that may hint a bit at sherry indeed. High quality, complex and fresh, reminding me a bit of the neighbouring Balblairs. Faint chalkiness and maybe a little sandalwood. Mouth: once again, this is much richer than the 18 but the profile is also rather different this time. Many more fruits including tropical ones (pineapples), a perfect oak, sweet spices, apricots, hints of tinned litchis and maybe Muscat wine, a little nutmeg… Quite superb, this combination of freshness and richness works very well (nope, I don’t think that’s antinomical). Finish: long, with more spices kicking in but the freshness remains. Comments: great, complex dram. No wonder they went on doing finishings after this success. SGP:561 – 91 points.”
