Glenmorangie The Altus 25 Year Old Scotch Whisky

Glenmorangie The Altus 25 Year Old Scotch Whisky

Ultra-Aged Highland Single Malt | 700ml | 43% ABV

A pinnacle of Glenmorangie’s artistry, The Altus 25 Year Old is a permanent addition to the distillery’s core range, joining the Original 12 and Infinita 18. Latin for “high,” Altus reflects both the towering stills that define Glenmorangie’s delicate spirit and the elevated flavor profile achieved through decades of maturation and innovation.

This expression begins with Glenmorangie’s signature fruity distillate, matured for 25 years in designer bourbon casks—crafted from slow-growth American white oak, air-dried and heavily toasted to Dr. Bill Lumsden’s exacting standards. A final touch of whisky finished in Malmsey Madeira casks adds depth, sweetness, and a nod to Glenmorangie’s pioneering 1995 Madeira release.
