Part of Glenmorangie’s Prestige Range, this 18 year old spent its first 15 years in American white oak bourbon casks. After this time, 30% was transferred to Oloroso sherry casks where it spent its final days, as the rest remained in bourbon casks. After 18 years has passed in total, the whisky was reunited and bottled at 43% ABV. A thick, creamy and fruity single malt presented in a wonderfully elegant bottle. It certainly looks prestigious. Nose: Creamy and tangy notes of citrus, cinnamon, stewed fruits and caramel-drizzled pannacotta. Palate: The palate is tropical and creamy with nectarines in yoghurt, acacia honey, peaches in cream and butterscotch. Finish: Ends on tangy oak and grilled grapefruit with plenty of dark sugar caramelised on top… Distillery Glenmorangie Fluid 70cl Alcohol % 43% Types of Barrel used for Aging Matured for 15 years in ex-Bourbon barrels before being finished in ex-Sherry barrels Region/AOC Highlands Awards and/or Press Quotes Gold Single Malt Scotch - 13 to 19 Yrs - 2013 San Francisco World Spirits Competition Gold Outstanding Scotch Single Malt - Highland - 2013 International Wine & Spirit Competition Silver Distillers' Single Malts between 13 and 20 years old - 2014 International Spirits Challenge
