Description
Glenmorangie tell us about how this particular limited edition came about: 'Some time ago our director of whisky creation, Dr Bill, found himself musing over how some of his most joyful memories came from cake - from the pineapple upside-down cake his daughter made for his birthdayย to baking with his granny in her kitchen. He devised this whisky to conjure the magic of a cake moment, finishing his favourite Glenmorangie single malt in the finest Tokaji dessert wine casks.
Tasting Notes
Nose |
Distillery: Complex, rich and multi-layered, with a burst of passion fruit, peach, pear, mango. More savoury notes like baking bread, gentle sappy oak and a curious, flinty minerality emerge. This is then followed by classic Glenmorangie notes like honeycomb, vanilla and almond, with a hint of milk chocolate. With a splash of water, more zesty notes emerge, like apricot, elderflower, flowering currents, honey pollen and peach syrup. |
Taste |
Distillery: The mouthfeel is surprisingly luscious and tart at the same time, leading into a burst of sweet, cake-like โ honey, white chocolate, apricot, almond, vanilla and pear. This is balanced by a hint of tangy orange and menthol, both classic Glenmorangie flavours. |
Finish |
Distillery: The lingering aftertaste again reminds you of a delicious combination of honeycomb, chocolate almond and pecan nuts. |
