Whisky lovers on the move now have two more reasons to linger in duty free. Glenmorangie, the Highland distillery celebrated for its bright, elegant style and innovative cask finishes, has unveiled two exclusive travel retail expressions: Glenmorangie Vindima 16 Years Old and Glenmorangie Aureum 21 Years Old.
These releases expand Glenmorangie’s travel retail range, which also includes several whiskies from its core collection.
Glenmorangie Vindima 16 Years Old – A Celebration of the Harvest
Named after Vindima, Madeira’s vibrant grape harvest festival, this 16-year-old single malt captures the spirit of community and celebration. It marries bourbon-cask-aged whisky with spirit finished in Malmsey casks, the richest and sweetest style of Madeira wine cask.
The result is a complex, indulgent dram alive with candied fruits, warm spice, and a subtle sizzle of chilli and clove. As Master Blender Gillian Macdonald says, “Glenmorangie Vindima is a sensory celebration of Madeira’s grape harvest,” transporting drinkers to sunlit vineyards overlooking the Atlantic.
ABV: 43% | RRP: €105 | Available worldwide from August
Glenmorangie Aureum 21 Years Old – Golden Elegance
Where Vindima is a festival, Aureum is a sun-drenched summer’s day distilled. Its name, Latin for gold, reflects both its rich hue and radiant character. Matured entirely in bourbon casks for 21 years, it delivers a smooth, layered whisky with notes of pear, jasmine, and honey, showcasing Glenmorangie’s signature finesse.
Macdonald describes it as “capturing the sun-drenched tones of a summer’s day,” offering a vibrant, elegant sipping experience.
ABV: 43% | RRP: €250 | Available now at Heathrow boutique, global rollout in September
Expanding Horizons in Travel Retail
Alongside these two exclusives, Glenmorangie refreshes its travel retail core range:
- Glenmorangie Original 12 Years Old – now with a new age statement
- Glenmorangie Elementa 14 Years Old – matured in bourbon casks and finished in charred virgin oak
- Glenmorangie Signet Reserve – a rich, chocolatey expression, launched in travel retail in late July
These additions reflect Glenmorangie’s commitment to creating memorable experiences for global travellers, whether seasoned collectors or curious newcomers.
