Glenmorangie 10 Year Old Traditional 100° Proof 1L | Glenmorangie
Archive Details
A Discontinued High-Strength Highland Release
Glenmorangie Traditional 100° Proof is an earlier 10 year old official distillery bottling, presented at a powerful 57.2% ABV in an unusually generous one-litre format. Bottled in 2003 and matured in mountain oak casks, it was released non-chill filtered and described on the original presentation as coming straight from the wood. Its combination of traditional high strength, discontinued presentation, and older Glenmorangie character makes this a distinctive release from an earlier period of the distillery’s history.

About the Bottling
Traditional 100° Proof represents a markedly different style of Glenmorangie from the distillery’s familiar contemporary core releases. Presented at 57.2% ABV and without chill filtration, the bottling was intended to offer Glenmorangie in a more robust and minimally treated form. The original packaging also references the historical 100° proof strength associated with malt whisky around Tain. Now discontinued, examples retaining their original one-litre bottle and distinctive presentation box offer an appealing snapshot of an earlier chapter in Glenmorangie’s official bottling history.
