Glenmorangie 23 Year Old 2002 (Year of the Horse 2026)
Glenmorangie 23 Year Old 2002 “Year of the Horse 2026” is an exceptionally rare, collector-grade Highland single malt created to mark the 2026 Lunar New Year (Year of the Horse begins 17 February 2026). Distilled in 2002—also a Horse year—this limited release captures Glenmorangie’s signature elegance, elevated by the honeyed, floral influence of Sauternes sweet white wine casks.
Matured in bourbon casks and married with whisky that has spent many years finished in Sauternes casks, it delivers a profile that is vibrant, sweet and floral—balancing orchard fruit brightness with dessert-wine richness. Bottled at 46% ABV and reportedly limited to 388 bottles worldwide, this is a statement piece for zodiac collectors, corporate gifting, and serious Glenmorangie fans.
Malaysia Allocation
Only 12 bottles allocated for Malaysia. Once sold out, restock is not expected for this edition.
How to Enjoy
Serve neat in a tulip glass, then add a few drops of water to amplify the floral-citrus aromatics and extend the sweetness on the finish.
