Twenty-five years of patience. Decades of expertise. And one simple question – what if? Glenmorangie The Altus 25 Year Old represents the pinnacle of the distillery’s craft — a whisky of remarkable depth, balance, and elegance. Distilled in Scotland’s tallest stills, this spirit spent a quarter of a century maturing in bespoke American oak bourbon casks, with a portion beautifully complemented by whisky aged in Malmsey Madeira wine casks.
The result is a complex yet harmonious single malt — floral, fruity, and rich, carrying the unmistakable finesse of Glenmorangie. It’s a whisky that captures time itself, crafted for those rare moments worth celebrating.
A new permanent addition to Glenmorangie’s core range, The Altus sits proudly above the 18 Year Old, marking the highest expression of the distillery’s signature style. Each bottle reflects a quarter century of artistry and innovation, offering an exceptional experience for collectors and connoisseurs alike.
