This rare Glenmorangie malt scotch whisky has been matured for fifteen years in casks of American white oak, from the Ozark Mountains in Missouri, which have previously been used in the making of bourbon. The sherry wood finish Glenmorangie is a drink of real delight, a beautifully golden malt that has a sort of elegance about it. When you nose it, you get a complex aroma, with sweet sherry wine notes & traces of honey. Just add a touch of water & citrus fruits emerge & maybe a trace of nuts. After a few moments the nuttiness gets stronger & the scent gets sweetened with vanilla & caramel. The earlier winey notes now become more sherried, the flavour that comes through is full & creamy with subdued flavours which turn in to a light, dry finish, & there's a long lasting after-taste which engages the whole palate. There's a certain elegance about the sherry finish that makes it great to drink at anytime.
