Glenmorangie The Original, Gift box 70cl

Product Information

This was originally a no age statement offering when released in 2007, but was upgraded to a 12 year old bottling in 2010.

Glenmorangie claims that it is made as it always has been by the ‘16 men of Tain’ but one name more than any other is synonymous with the distillery today: the aforementioned Dr Bill Lumsden. The oak in which it slumbered hails from the Ozark Mountains in Missouri and the casks were seasoned with bourbon, adding a luscious, creamy depth to the whisky. He’s also been at the forefront of experimentation earlier in the whisky making stage with products like Signet made using chocolate malt, Cadboll made with single estate barley, and A Tale of the Forest which uses barley kilned with botanicals. Originally released for the Travel Retail market, The Elementa was crafted by Glenmorangie as a way of celebrating the art of wood finishing! The Cadboll is a Glenmorangie single malt originally released for the Travel Retail market which was initially aged in bourbon casks before enjoying a finishing period in casks that once held Muscat and Sémillion wines.This superb Glenmorangie was created with a marriage of whiskies produced from two unique types of malted barley: a single estate Cadboll variety and malted chocolate barley, which is better known as a basis for craft beers. Some of our partners may process your data as a part of their legitimate business interest without asking for consent. The process of making Glenmorangie whisky starts with hard water from Tarlogie Springs and an unpeated Scottish barley.

The backdrop is filled with tobacco leaves and freshly roasted espresso beans, with a little honey-roasted cashew. Silken textures bring forth tastes of creamy vanilla that balance with coconut, almonds and honey, before a gentle, lingering finish.

This award-winning single malt delights with a nose of mandarin, lemon and peach softened by vanilla, alongside herbal and floral notes.

Glenmorangie has created a new limited-edition whisky which captures the joy of the perfect slice of cake in a glass.

The palate was ridiculously lovely, it was sweet without being too sweet, I didn’t get any orange or citrus at all but I did get lychee but it was as if the lychee had been dipped in chocolate. It was subsequently matured in bespoke American virgin oak casks before it was bottled at 46%, and received no chill-filtration. This was followed in the early ‘90s by a Port cask-finished whisky and then a plethora of other cask finishes like Madeira, sherry and Sauternes.
