Towards the end of 2023, Glenmorangie relaunched its core-range 18yo with a new name and updated packaging. Matured for 18 years, initially in American white oak bourbon casks before a portion was transferred into Oloroso sherry casks. When both elements reached 18 years, they were married back together. Bottled at 43%.
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.
