Glenmorangieis a distillery in Tain, Ross-shire, Scotland that produces single malt Scotch whisky and known for its smooth whiskies. Glenmorangie is categorised as a Highland distillery and boasts the tallest stills in Scotland. 

The water used in the production is drawn from Tarlogie Springs, which are located in the nearby Tarlogie hills. Over the years, Glenmorangie has become Scotland’s best selling single malt. That, more than anything else, should be held dear to the distillery’s metaphoric heart as an enormous success.

The Glenmorangie 19 Years Oldwas aged in slow-growth American white oak ex-bourbon casks for almost two decades. It was chosen in part by Brendan McCarron, Glenmorangie’s Head ofMaturing Whisky Stocks, who worked with Lumsden to select the barrels that went into this release.

Tasting Notes: 

Aroma: Fresh, clean and zesty aromas of mint, eucalyptus and hints of sugar cane, are woven with candy,peaches and vanilla.

Palate: A smooth and creamy texture brings with it the subtle sweetness of apple, apricot and tangy oranges, alongside toffee, butter candy and menthol.

Finish: Mint toffee mingles with oak tannins and the lingering suggestion of bittersweet citrus fruit.

Tips: A few drops of water really opens it up and brings out more of the typical Glenmorangie floral honey aromas, the peppers on the palate into balance and rounds it out beautifully
