GLENFIDDICH 50 YEAR OLD BOTTLE 92 VATTING 3 ABV: 43.7% The Glenfiddich 50 Year Old is a product of time, of 50 years spent maturing in oak casks, its complex and sensuous flavours mellowing and smoothing over the years. Malt Master Brian Kinsman added untraditional personality to this ancient triumvirate of whisky. This exquisite cask strength malt has been drawn from three casks, two having spent the last 50 years quietly maturing undisturbed in their American oak barrels in Warehouse 13 (1955 and 1957 Casks). The third was more unusual, it was transferred into a new oak cask after 40 long years, giving it deeper layers of fresh fruit and oak spiciness, the liquid in these three casks was then married in a European oak butt in Warehouse 8 to allow the wondrous array of flavours and aromas to settle down and create and unrivalled harmony. This, only the third vatting of Glenfiddich 50 Year Old, bottled on 4th April 2018, is a representation of a humble beginning, a legacy proudly passed onto Heritage Lounge, a freeman of the Glenfiddich Distillery. TASTING NOTES: NOSE: The nose is beautifully balanced and remarkably light and delicate. Five decades of refined fruity and floral signature aromas, reveal hints of spring blossom, violets, dried hibiscus flowers and rose petals.

GLENMORANGIE GRAND VINTAGE MALT 1993 BOND HOUSE NO.1 – 25 YEAR OLD ABV: 43% The exclusive vintages of Bond House No.1 are all shaped by their own unique stories. Each distilled in a single year, they are captured at their peak by skillful whisky creators and only at their behest, is deemed ready to share. The Collection's third release, Glenmorangie Grand Vintage Malt 1993 has a rare depth and minerality. After ten years in ex-bourbon casks, this superior parcel spurred Dr Bill Lumsden ingenuity. Inspired by the distinctive, oxidised nature of Madeira wine, Dr Bill determined to explore the utmost limits of its cask's influence, without sacrificing the single malt's elegant style. Dr. Bill transferred the whisky into casks which once held Bual Madeira - slowly matured in the traditional way, to augment its rich, bitter-sweet taste. During a 15 year finish, far longer than once thought possible, they would bring an intriguing sharpness to Glenmorangie’s complex fruit notes. Bottled on 31st July 2019, after being skillfully matured over a quarter-century, this single malt achieved the full, flinty intensity Dr Bill had sought. Enriched by these delicious contrasts and mellowed by age, Glenmorangie Grand Vintage Malt 1993 takes its rightful place among Glenmorangie's greats. TASTING NOTES: NOSE: Fruity and subtly smoky, the nose hints at candied orange peel and wood fires, with mint toffee, sultana and treacle. Then comes a suggestion of vine-ripened tomatoes and a rare minerality, before Glenmorangie's classic fruit notes. PALATE: A rich, spicy mouthfeel leads to an abundance of ripe peaches, apricots, melon and baked pears, laced with vanilla custard, a dusting of cocoa powder and nutmeg's gentle spice. FINISH: Notes of honey and mead entwine with the softness of milk chocolate and sugared plums, to create a wonderfully sweet and lingering finish. GLENMORANGIE GRAND VINTAGE MALT 1996 BOND HOUSE NO.1 – AGED 23 YEAR ABV: 43% The exclusive vintages of Bond House No.1 are all shaped by their own unique stories. Each distilled in a single year, they are captured at their peak by skillful whisky creators and only at their behest, is deemed ready to share. The Collection’s sixth release, Glenmorangie Grand Vintage Malt 1996, is luxurious and creamy. Aged in a handful of the first custom-designed casks, this quintessential Glenmorangie honours the pioneering decade of travel and experi- mentation to devise the perfect cask. From the northern slopes of Missouri's Ozark Mountains, was discovered slow-growth American white oaks with a particularly porous structure. Inviting greater synergy between wood and spirit, they would magnify Glenmorangie's creamy character. Hand selected trees, cut into staves, allowing the wood to slowly dry in open air for two years, delivering gentler, sweeter flavours. The casks were then heavily toasted, and lightly charred to augment their natural wood notes.
