Glenmorangie The Vindima 16YO Whisky Travel Exclusive - 6610632

Transport yourself to the heart of Portugal's Vindima festival with Glenmorangie 16 YO, a whisky inspired by the vibrant celebration lasting almost two and a half months. From the fiery embers of summer into autumn’s warm embrace, this expression reflects the joyous unity of Madeira's community as they carefully handpick ripened grapes, turning the streets alive with song, dance, and collective euphoria. The liquid, sourced from a Maderian cask, specifically a Malvasia Malmsey grape variety, introduces a rich sweet twist to the elegance of Glenmorangie, showcasing sticky orchard and dark fruit notes, including sultanas, and a subtle hint of spice, all enriched by the Madeira cask finishing.
