Glenmorangie – Cognac Cask at Hard To Find Whisky – Scotch Whisky News


GLENMORANGIE – BARREL SELECT

COGNAC CASK

 13 YEAR OLD | 70cl | 46% ABV

This oaky and fruity small batch release results from rare experimentation with Cognac casks. It elegantly unites notes of spice and leather with Glenmorangie’s wondrous fruitiness.

Aromas of apple tart and toffee are delectably deepened by a subtle note of forest floor. Then fruity bursts of baked apples, oranges and pears fill the air. A splash of water releases scents of butter candy, more sweet pastry and a touch of beeswax, delicately lightened by mint.

The taste is sweet and almost sparkling – like toffee apples and baked pears scattered with almonds and slices of mandarin orange. That fruitiness is deliciously threaded with the aforementioned clove, star anise and soft hints of leather.
