Glenmorangie Grand Vintage 1998

Tasted the Grand Vintage 1996, 1997 and 1998 side by side. Overall, the 1996 was better in overall balance, integration of flavours and taste. The 1997 had the most unique palate, with the red wine cask maturation really showing through. And the 1998 was the easiest to drink.
