Glenmorangie Cognac Casks, Pre Order at Tyndrum Whisky – Scotch Whisky News
Barrel Select Release 2 – PRE ORDER
The second release in this series is available to order now, a luscious 13YO Glenmorangie, finished for a massive FOUR years in Cognac Casks. The second in the Barrel Select Series, (last years being the Malaga Cask), this is The Glenmorangie Cognac Cask Finish.
The Single Malt’s delicate, fruity spirit was distilled on Friday 22nd February 2008, and laid down in American white oak bourbon casks. Some eight years later, inspired by its soft, mellow taste, Dr Bill selected this whisky for a unique experiment with Cognac Casks. Therefore this release is finished for FOUR years in Cognac Casks.
With wonderful finesse, it threads the cognac casks’ notes of clove, pepper and hints of leather through Glenmorangie’s Classic fruity tones.
Official Tasting notes:
Aroma – Apple tart and toffee are delectably deepened by a subtle note of forest floor. Then Glenmorangie’s fruity bursts of baked apples, oranges and pears fill the air.
Taste – Sweet and almost sparkling, like toffee apples and baked pears scattered with almonds and slices of mandarin orange. That fruitiness is deliciously threaded with clove, star anise and soft hints of leather.
Finish – Long, elegant and gently mentholic.
From Glenmorangie Whisky Distillery.
