Glenmorangie 18 Years Old
-
S$19888
Tasting Notes
Like the golden edge of an autumn afternoon, The 18 Years Old is a dazzling, luminous whisky, balancing sweet and floral lushness, with rich marmalade flavours, honey and fig. Honeyed gold in colour. Rich, rounded and sweet with dried fruit and a complex floral fragrance. A balance between honey, malt and flowery notes. Rich figs and dates emerge with a hint of wood smoke in the background. Long and enticing with the sweetness of dried fruit and subtle dryness of Oloroso nuttiness.
Description
The 18 year old has always been one of the best of Glenmorangie's core range and, in common with all Glenmo's offerings these days, it really looks the part. Picked up the top prize in its category at the World Whisky Awards 2010.
The last hours of a perfect autumn day when the world looks like a golden dream filled with cookie-coloured leaves and butterscotch skies, it is this dazzling, luminous whisky – a rhapsody of warm tones like purple heather, leaves swirling in the wind and hues of lemon, copper and gold.
To create it, we gather the silky, fruity spirit from our giraffe-high stills and let it steep in American oak casks. No less than 15 years later, we transfer a portion into Oloroso sherry casks for three more years.
Once 18 years have passed, we reunite them to create its warm balance of sweet, floral lushness. Rich marmalade flavours brush against honey and fig, touches of caramelized orange and far-off campfire smoke.
Have a taste, and let your imagination wander to the edge of an autumn afternoon.
