Westport 18 Year, distilled in 1997 then matured for 18 years in sherry cask prior to bottling in 2016 at 58.50% cask strength. This is a bold highland blend that combines whisky from Glenmorangie and Glen Moray distilleries. Released by Wilson & Morgan, an independent bottler having a reputation for selecting world-class casks.
About Westport
Westport isn’t actually a distillery, but instead a brand name under which Glenmorangie released their whisky to independent bottlers. When Glenmorangie sold casks of their whisky, they wanted to avoid direct competition. In order to achieve this they combined their whisky with that of Glen Moray so that the whisky could no longer be sold as single malt.
The two world famous single malts, Glenmorangie and Glen Moray, come together beautifully. The complexity and character of Glenmorangie is complemented with the subtle delicacy of Glen Moray.
