Glenmorangie 12 Years Old Barrel Select Release Calvados Cask Finish 46% Vol. 0,7l hot on sale

Description

Under the direction of Dr. Bill Lumsden, an expert in whisky creation, Glenmorangie has been producing single malts for over 180 years. Distillation takes place in particularly high stills, which allow a rich aroma to develop.

The Glenmorangie Calvados Cask Finish is an innovation from the Glenmorangie Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky distillery, marked as the distillery’s first bottling to be matured in French Calvados casks. This edition is the fifth in the Barrel Select Release series and has a total maturation period of 12 years. The whisky is characterized by aromas of jasmine flowers, baked apples, pears and the typical fruity notes of Glenmorangie, complemented by a gentle depth.

For the Calvados Cask Finish, Dr. Lumsden chose a whisky that was first matured for over 10 years in American white oak bourbon casks before being finished in Calvados casks from the Pays d’Auge, which had previously held Calvados for 20 years. After two years of maturation in these casks, the Glenmorangie Calvados Cask Finish was created.
