A truly special vintage Glenmorangie: “Pure Old” 22 Year Old, distilled in 1963 during the era of the famed “16 Men of Tain.” Produced under legendary long-serving distillery manager Gordon L. Smart, this whisky carries rare historical weight—matured in oak casks, finished for a year in Spanish Oloroso sherry casks, then bottled 15 years later. With only limited Glenmorangie distilled in 1963, this is a serious collector’s bottle with standout provenance and story.
