Despite its mysterious nature, this bottle has a nice matured flavor. Glenmorangie GLENMHOR 1969 CAMPBELL&CLARK LIMITED #1407-1909 45% One of 2265 bottles The aroma has strong orange peel notes, a faint peariness, a dusty quality, vanilla, a solid rustic grain character, and a subtle peatiness from the background. On the palate, it's soft with some juicy orange notes, a refined sweetness, a good tannic quality reminiscent of orange peel, and a texture that slowly lingers on the tongue. The finish has a gentle rustic grain character with a faint peatiness. 【Good/Very Good】 This Glenmorangie 1969 bottled by CAMPBELL&CLARK LIMITED was diluted using three casks, but details about the bottling period are unknown. Additionally, this label has never been seen elsewhere. The aroma strongly resembles orange peel with a moderate aging character and faint post-bottling changes. There's also a rustic grain quality and nuances of peat typical of 1960s malts. On the palate, the orange has a juicy quality, and the tannic bitterness reminiscent of biting into an orange peel was pleasant. The sweetness is gentle, with the umami of grains and a nuanced sensation that lingers on the tongue. Based on my impression, there seems to be a notable aging change, suggesting bottling around the late 1980s or early 1990s. The matured character and post-bottling changes work well together, making this a quite enjoyable Glenmorangie.
