 A bottle of 19 year old Glenmorangie Whisky has been donated to the auction! With its vibrant citrus notes and intense creamy texture, Glenmorangie 19 Years Old celebrates the Distillery’s signature style.
Showcasing the mastery and vision of their whisky creators, this delicate expression was carefully aged in only the finest American white oak ex-bourbon casks, before it was deemed to have reached its utmost balance of maturity and finesse. The resulting expression, so venerable, yet so vibrant, augments the soft and smooth character for which Glenmorangie is renowned, with a deep complexity and surprising zestiness.

His attestation took place on 9 July 1915 and he was assigned Regimental Number 301018. He was in England, training at Shorncliffe Camp by the 8th August 1915. Despite the busy schedule, he did have time to send a postcard to his sister. Fishmarket, Folkestone (413) Postmarked Shorncliffe Camp 13th August 1915. My dear sister.
