Glenmorangie 18 Year Old Single Malt Whisky – 70cl
The 18 Years Old is a single malt Scotch whisky of serious distinction. Once it has spent fifteen years maturing in American white oak casks approximately 30% is transferred into Spanish Oloroso casks to spend a further three years maturing. Then, when both elements have reached 18 years, we blend them back together to create a whisky with a rich bouquet and full, rounded flavour.
TASTING NOTES
Nose: Delicate and elegant, highlights are notes of candied pecans, red apple peel, apfelstrudel, and warm vanilla sauce. Also plums, apricots and a touch of juniper, as well as some resin. Ending on some light floral notes.
Taste: Fairly sweet indeed. A big dollop of honey and vanilla custard, accompanied by orange zest, lychee and cardamom. Then some tangerines and apricots, while were ending with a pinch of cinnamon.
Finish: Medium length. Oak spices push forward, while lemon pith also makes an appearance.
