Glenmorangie Extremely Rare 18 yr old
It lives up to it's name. It is a rare blend of two cask types and is very good to sip on. Not too sweet, but just right.
Glenmorangie 18 Year Old
750ML, Single Malt Scotch Whisky, Scotland
The 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, we blend them back together to create a whisky with a rich bouquet and full, rounded flavour.
90-95 points: Wine Enthusiast
"The initial whiffs find layers of honey, flowers and light toffee; air contact stimulates aromas of pine needle, caramel, nougat, marzipan, chocolate orange and stewed apple. The palate entry is totally dry then turns bittersweet and pork rind-like; at midpalate tastes of burnt apple crisp, orange zest, fudge and candied nuts appear. Finishes as grandly and stately as it began."
