NEW YORK, Dec. 3, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Glenmorangie Single Malt Scotch Whisky has partnered with charity auction website Charitybuzz to auction a rare bottle of Glenmorangie 1963. Bidding is open from December 2 at 9:00am EST through December 13 at https://www.charitybuzz.com/glenmorangie1963 with proceeds to benefit the American Forests conservation organization. 

Fifty bottles of this iconic Single Malt, the world's first extra-matured whisky, were recently discovered in a hidden corner of one of Glenmorangie's warehouses. This pioneering expression was first distilled in 1963, extra-matured in Spanish Oloroso Sherry casks for almost two years before being released in 1987.

The re-release celebrates Glenmorangie's use of wood finishing in the whisky development process and will be offered in a commemorative bottle fitting of its 1960s heritage. The labels, collar and cork are made of the purest .925 solid silver. Each of the bottles is engraved with a unique number and is presented in a metal "time capsule"-style box. The box has a polished oak wood interior, and contains a luxurious booklet customized with a hand-signed note of authenticity from Dr. Bill Lumsden, Glenmorangie's celebrated Director of Distilling, Whisky Creation & Whisky Stocks.
