Description
The Glenmorangie 18 Year Old is a Scotch whisky that has been aged for 18 years. It is made from a blend of American white oak and Spanish Oloroso casks. The whisky has a bouquet and flavor that is full and rounded.
Glenmorangie 18 Year Old is a single malt Scotch whisky of serious distinction.
Once it has spent fifteen years maturing in American white oak casks approximately 30% is transferred into Spanish Oloroso casks to spend a further three years maturing. Then, when both elements have reached 18 years, the Master Distillers blend them back together to create a whisky with a rich bouquet and full, rounded flavour.
For a whisky of this age, this expression has maintained, thanks to delicate floral spirit and fine Oloroso casks, an incredible degree of vibrancy where the raisiny sweetness of the sherry has been toned down by the nuttiness of the American oak.
Nose: Rich, rounded and sweet with dried fruits and a complex floral fragrance.
Palate: The taste is balanced between honey, malt and flowery scents. Dates and figs emerge in the background with a hint of wood smoke.
Finish:The finish is long and enticing with the sweetness of dried fruit and subtle dryness of Oloroso nuttiness.
