Very, very unusual for Glenmorangie (though not for current whisky trends), they've gone and peated it. This was distilled from Lightly peated barley, to an original recipe dating back to 1903. This was aged in American oak and Oloroso sherry casks. The result is a whisky with sweet vanilla and lime notes, hints of sherry and an interesting whiff of peat smoke.
This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed photos just get in touch!
Soft smoke and dried fruit. A little banana chip, hints of cereal sweetness, rose petals and applewood.
Creamy, gently peated palate with spice, candied orange, peach nectar and tropical fruit. Develops on sultanas and cocoa.
Long, chocolate-driven finish with Corinth raisins and cooked fruit.
Excellent malt, it goes down smooth with a light smokey note and hints of honey and fruits. I highly recommend it.
