Glenmorangie 12 Year Old Palo Cortado

70cl

Introducing the first Glenmorangie ever to be finished in rare Palo Cortado sherry casks! This nutty and sweet single malt spent its first eight years mellowing in American white oak bourbon casks and then was finished 4 years in Palo Cortado Sherry Casks. The result is an oily yet peppery whisky with a burst of rich, sweet flavours, treacle toffee, notes of clove, ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg. Meanwhile, fruity undertones of raisins, dark plums and bitter orange find delectable balance with baking ryebread and salted nuts.

Tasting Notes from Celtic Whiskey Shop and Wines on the Green
Finish Long and nutty, brimming with spice, leather and a touch of aniseed.
Tasting Notes from the Producer
Aromas (without water) Rich, elegant and rounded. Toffee, fudge and vanilla sweetness entwine with mossy notes and mulled wine hints. Then come scents of honeyed ginger and milk-chocolate truffle dusted with cinnamon. A splash of water reveals notes of orange sherbet, carnations and Brazil nuts.
Flavour An oily yet peppery texture leads to a burst of rich, sweet flavours. Treacle toffee and milk chocolate are threaded with notes of clove, ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg. Meanwhile, fruity undertones of raisins, dark plums and bitter orange find delectable balance with baking ryebread and salted nuts.
