Product Detail
Dr. Bill Lumsden, inspired by ancient Highland whisky methods, experimented with various botanicals for kilning barley and chose juniper berries, birch bark, heather flowers, and a hint of peat. This single malt offers pine, juniper, and coriander aromas with smoke hints, leading to eucalyptus and bitter orange flavors, ending in a gentle oaky finish.
HOW TO ENJOY
HOW TO ENJOY
Appearance: Rich Amber
Aroma: Rich and mellow, with hints of toffee, ripe fruits such as pears, plums and baked apples, and some gentle oak. This is followed by some sweet vanilla, fragrant spearmint and a mellow, warming, waxy note, like fragrant incense. Some water releases Glenmorangie’s classic citrus notes of lemon and mandarin orange along with sweet tobacco, a touch of lavender, and the merest hint of ginger.
Taste: A zesty, almost effervescent mouthfeel leads into a burst of vibrant fruitiness, some chocolatey notes, a soft butter candy flavour and a hint of toffee, juicy raisins and figs. Then comes a suggestion of orange-flavoured chocolate, clove, ginger and aniseed.
With its complex layers, opt for venison or blue cheese.
