Together with two younger bottlings, the 16-year-old Glenmorangie The Tribute was released in 2020 as a "Travel Retail Exclusive" available in duty-free shops worldwide. This remarkable whisky was crafted under the guidance of Dr. Bill Lumsden, who holds the prestigious title of "Director of Distilling, Whisky Creation & Whisky Stocks." Dr. Lumsden, a PhD biochemist, has been with Glenmorangie since 1995 and has earned a revered place in the Whisky Hall of Fame. The Tribute whisky is referred to as a "Heritage Spirit Batch" because it carries subtle hints of peat smoke, reminiscent of the old days when peat was commonly used to fuel drying kilns due to a shortage of firewood across Scotland. This process imparted the characteristic smoky nuances to the barley malt. Although modern technologies have made peat smoke unnecessary on the Scottish mainland, many distilleries soon realized the growing demand for lightly peated whiskies. The 16-year maturation in American oak bourbon barrels gives this whisky a rich and complex character. With an ABV of 43% and a generous size of 1000 ml, Glenmorangie The Tribute offers a unique tasting experience that marries tradition with innovation, all while capturing the essence of the Highlands region.
Glenmorangie The Tribute is unique because it incorporates subtle hints of peat smoke, paying homage to traditional Scotch production methods.
The Tribute was created under the guidance of Dr. Bill Lumsden, the Director of Distilling, Whisky Creation & Whisky Stocks at Glenmorangie.
Glenmorangie The Tribute is aged in American oak bourbon barrels, which contribute to its rich and complex flavor profile.
The Tribute stands out due to its subtle peat smoke, a feature not commonly found in other Glenmorangie expressions. This gives it a unique balance of smoky, sweet, and salty flavors.
Glenmorangie The Tribute is a delightful departure from the usual Glenmorangie expressions, offering a unique blend of subtle peat smoke and rich, sweet flavors. While it may not be as complex as other premium whiskies, it provides a pleasurable and balanced experience that will appeal to both Glenmorangie fans and those looking for something a bit different. Despite its relatively high price tag, this whisky stands out for its heritage and the careful craftsmanship that went into its creation.
