Single Malt

A particularly rich and fruit-forward single malt from Glenmorangie, released as part of its excellent Bond House No.1 series. For this very special expression, whiskies from two different types of casks were blended together - one finished in oloroso sherry casks, the other finished in Burgundy casks. There’s some full-aged virgin oak wood, and come classic bourbon-aged Glenmorangie thrown in for good measure, too. You might think that one could overpower the other, or that the combination of both of them could simply be too loud, but the result is brilliantly balanced.
There’s chocolate orange, dried pineapple and aromatic cigar box aromas. A little time and fudge and toffee appear.
Very complex, powerful and peppery with a noticeable chew from the wood tannins, then fruity notes come through dark cherry and classic Glenmorangie peachy notes.
Rather long with honey and salted caramel.

Tried this last night, it's in my top 1% of best whiskies, and I've had some amazing stuff. To put it briefly: it was very complex, plums, apricots, peaches, and then a super long finish that just kept on giving. The finish was a lot of red berries, and was truly a palate in its own right. Amazing blending to get this perfect combination, really a fantastic whisky that I would recommend to anyone.
