Hello Fellow Scotch Lovers –

As you know, my goal with these emails is to offer you exciting whiskies at great prices, or access to limited production whiskies. This weeks its all about an extremely limited production whisky: Glenmorangie Pride 1981.

The culmination of 28 years of passion, patience and artistry, Pride 1981 is the most luxurious and longest ever extra-matured Glenmorangie. When the original whisky was distilled in 1981, it was selected to mature in the finest oak casks with the intention of creating an exquisite 18 Year Old whisky.

However, in 1999, Dr. Bill Lumsden, Master Distiller, acquired an extremely limited number of Sauternes barriques from the Chateau d’Yquem vineyard. He saw the perfect opportunity to create an even more outstanding single malt scotch whisky: the ultimate expression of the art of extra maturation.

Glenmorangie Pride 1981 is 28 year old whisky that is matured in the finest oak casks for 18 years before being aged exclusively in Chateau d’Yquem Sauternes casks for a further ten years – the longest period any current Glenmorangie whisky has undergone extra maturation. It is then bottled at cask strength (56.7% ABV)

The whisky comes in an exquisite Baccarat crystal decanter designed by renowned glassware artist Laurence Brabant. Each decanter is individually numbered and personally signed by Dr. Bill Lumsden, and is housed inside an elegantly-crafted wooden coffret designed by emerging Dutch designer Wouter Scheublin.

This is an extremely rare, limited edition bottling with only 1,000 bottles available worldwide; 100 of which will are available in the US (and only a few in the hands of Nicky The Neck). The ForScotchLovers price for a bottle of Glenmorangie Pride 1981 is $3,600 for a 1-Liter bottle, so if you want one, get it NOW!  Availability of this spectaular whisky is EXTREMELY limited…and once it is gone, it’s gone.

At $3,600 for a bottle, and with less than 100 bottles in the U.S., Glenmorangie Pride 1981 clearly isn’t for everyone. But for the lucky few with the means, and the smarts to act fast, this whisky will be prized and enjoyed for many tears to come.
