Glenmorangie 10 year old is the flagship bottle of the Glenmorangie range. It is an elegant, floral & spirited 10 year old single malt. The 10 year old is produced by marrying the delicate spirit that emerges from Scotland's tallest stills, with first & second fill American white oak casks. It is here that they are matured for 10 years in a range of ex-bourbon casks, such as the famous slow-grown & air-dried ‘designer casks' from Missouri. These designer casks are used to develop the raw spirit to achieve a perfect balance between sweetness & complexity. This results in a mature spirit that is soft, mellow & creamy. The colour of the 10 year old is a pale lemony gold & the aroma gives a scent of citrus & ripening peaches that is softened by the fragrance of vanilla. On the palate you can immediately detect vanilla on the tongue before it ripples along the mouth bringing a burst of flowery fruitiness which is then followed by the finish which hits about a minute after tasting. The Finish leaves you with a clean & salving aftertaste with hints of orange & peach, the perfect end to a succulent 10 year old. The Glenmorangie 10 year old has won a number of awards with its most recent being a Double Gold for Best Single Malt at the San Francisco world spirit championship.
