Glenmorangie 25 Year Single Malt Scotch Whiskey The Altus W/ Gift Box
Glenmorangie 25 Year Single Malt Scotch Whiskey The Altus W/ Gift Box
Crafted from spirit born in Scotland’s tallest stills, Glenmorangie The Altus is a whisky that truly lives up to its name. Derived from the Latin word for “high,” The Altus represents an elevated expression of time, imagination, and mastery. This remarkable 25 Year Old single malt is matured predominantly in Glenmorangie’s bespoke designer bourbon casks, made from slow-growth American white oak to draw out creamy, honeyed depths.
Its journey is lifted even further by a carefully judged sprinkling of whisky finished in Malmsey Madeira wine casks—a reverent nod to Glenmorangie’s groundbreaking 1995 Madeira Wood Finish, the world’s first of its kind. Under the visionary guidance of Dr. Bill Lumsden, Director of Whisky Creation, this marriage of cask styles transforms long-aged spirit into something profoundly elegant and opulent.
Silky, layered, and luminous, The Altus unfolds with waves of orchard fruit, floral perfume, and indulgent sweetness, delivering a whisky that doesn’t just reach new heights—it defines them. Presented in a refined gift box, this is a true collector’s masterpiece and a celebration of Glenmorangie’s enduring curiosity.

Why Gifted Pour recommends it
This is a bottle for the moments that deserve a pause: a retirement, a landmark birthday, a promotion years in the making. Aged 25 years and matured predominantly in Glenmorangie's bespoke designer bourbon casks of slow-growth American white oak, it carries a careful measure of whisky finished in Malmsey Madeira wine casks, a nod to the distillery's 1995 Madeira Wood Finish. The result, overseen by Dr. Bill Lumsden, is perfumed and silky: carnation, rose and orange blossom on the nose, then mandarin, pear, peach and tart gooseberry giving way to butter-candy sweetness, marzipan and soft oak. It suits the recipient who savors a dram slowly, or the collector building a shelf of Highland single malts. Arriving in a refined gift box, it needs no extra wrapping to feel considered. Suggest they pour it neat into a tulip glass and let it rest for a few minutes; the floral and fruit notes keep opening, which makes it a fine companion for a long, reflective evening after dinner.
Pairs well with
- Almond-based desserts — The whisky's marzipan, almond and nutty toffee notes echo the flavors of frangipane or almond cake.
- Honeyed cheeses — Its honey and orange blossom aromas and soft butter-candy sweetness complement the richness of a cheese drizzled with honey.
- Retirement or milestone birthday — A 25 Year Old with a long, harmoniously sweet finish rewards the kind of slow, reflective sipping that marks a significant occasion.
