GLENMORANGIE A TALE OF WINTER SCOTCH
Snowed in at home, Glenmorangie’s Director of Whisky
Creation, Dr. Bill, began dreaming of this whisky. His goal was to capture the
snug and magical feeling of sitting in front of the fireplace as snow blankets
the world outside. In pursuit of rich, radiant taste and wintery aroma, he
finished the 13-year-old single malt in Marsala wine casks from Sicily.
The experience begins with light flurries of fruit and
honey, building to torrents of cocoa dust, flakes of red pepper and chunks of
brazil nut toffee. It culminates in a feels-like-forever finish that swirls
with cinnamon, ginger and clove.
AROMA
Curious and slightly sharp, with the classic Marsala
top-note of slightly oxidised fruits. Hints of orange toffee intermingles with
a fragrant top note of lavender honey and sweet rose.
TASTE
A juicy viscous, but slightly peppery mouthfeel, leads in
to a burst of sweet, nutty flavours – coco powder, red pepper, brazil nut
toffee and sweet barley malt.
FINISH
Sweet demerara sugar and a long lingering spicy aftertaste of clove, ginger and cinnamon.
