Honey & caramel sweetness with some peppery oak & deep citrus notes. The rich finish has a hint of raisins & walnuts. This rare expression of Glenmorangie is an attractive deep gold colour. It is distinctive from the Ten Years Old
- although the floral bouquet & citrus notes are still present
- & avoids the heavy 'darkness' of other aged malts. It spends a final period of maturation in Sherry wood, which lends a round richness.

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. ...

Lime & orange rind, sultanas & dates give a rich fruity flavour laced with tantalising spices of coconut & nutmeg. Ginger, nutmeg & toasted almonds bring a deep, warming taste interwoven with a syrupy lemon meringue & honeycomb middle. Long & lusciously sweet finish with lemon zest, white chocolate, vanilla & traces of ginger & nutmeg. Great to see French casks that actually complement a whisky
- so rare! An exercise in outrageously good sweet-dry balancing This whisky develops its rich, spicy & dessert-like flavours in hand selected wine barriques from Sauternes: the most famous & ancient sweet wine growing region of France. Non chill-filtered for additional aroma & mouthfeel.
