Glenmorangie
Scotland
Single Malt
Part of Glenmorangie’s Prestige Range, this 18 year old spent its first 15 years in American white oak bourbon casks. After this time, 30% was transferred to Oloroso sherry casks where it spent its final days, as the rest remained in bourbon casks. After 18 years has passed in total, the whisky was reunited and bottled at 43% ABV. A thick, creamy and fruity single malt Scotch whisky presented in a wonderfully elegant bottle. It certainly looks prestigious.
This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!
Creamy and tangy notes of citrus, cinnamon, stewed fruits and caramel-drizzled pannacotta.
The palate is tropical and creamy with nectarines in yoghurt, acacia honey, peaches in cream and butterscotch.
Ends on tangy oak and grilled grapefruit with plenty of dark sugar caramelised on top…

What a good tasting whisky. Love it.
Nose of apricots, berries, and wood. Taste of honey, chocolate, and berries.
Beautiful on the nose. Exquisite on the palate. One of my favourites on a cold winters night
Rich thick orange peel honey vanilla great balance and finish. Lovely dram
It's not a mid-range sherried Speyside (Glenfarclas 15 etc.) but then again, it's not trying to be. This has all the fruit and floral fragrance of a good tall-still single malt with a little extra richness and dried fruit depth from its final three years in the Oloroso sherry casks. I think any spare £85 I have in the whisky budget might go elsewhere just for my personal taste but this is a fine dram with its own unique style and character.
