Glenmorangie The Original, Gift box 70cl

Product Information

A new, higher age stated Quinta Ruban from Glenmorangie. A voluptuously silky spirit, aged first in bourbon casks for smooth, fruity notes, then finished in ruby port casks to create velvety depth. An old discontinued bottling of Glenmorangie finished in Sherry Wood Casks, now replaced with the La Santa bottling. A 12 year old from Glenmorangie which was aged for 10 years in American oak before being finished in Premier Cru wine casks for 2 years. Extremel... First released more than 175 years ago by our founders, the original Glenmorangie 10 year old was known for its mellow tones and delicacy of flavour.

Laid down in the finest bourbon casks, the spirit of 1997 would inspire one of Dr Bill’s rarest experiments with wood. And after nearly a decade of careful ageing, he transferred a parcel into Château Montrose red wine casks. I love this Glenmorangie even though there is no age statement it’s worth the money. Super presentation and always a fantastic service with House Of Malt. I like Glenmorangie original and this adds a depth of taste from the sherry casks which adds to the already good original A sadly discontinued whisky from Glenmorangie, fans of its 15-year-old single malt will be filled with nostalgia! An interesting find for collectors and tasting clubs alike.

Glenmorangie 10 year is the flagship brand in the Glenmorangie fleet. It is matured in designer casks that have been slow-grown and air-dried to in... Glenmorangie claims that it is made as it always has been by the ‘16 men of Tain’ but one name more than any other is synonymous with the distillery today: the aforementioned Dr Bill Lumsden. He was the distillery manager from 1995 to 1998, and from then head of distilling and whisky creation for everything in the Glenmorangie Company’s portfolio. Under Dr Lumsden the cask finishes continued such as Sauternes barrel Nectar D'Or, Port cask The Quinta Ruban 14 Year Old and sherry-finished Lasanta 12 Year Old. He’s also been at the forefront of experimentation earlier in the whisky making stage with products like Signet made using chocolate malt, Cadboll made with single estate barley, and A Tale of the Forest which uses barley kilned with botanicals. Our selection of Miniatures span the last 7 decades. A great opportunity to try some vintage malts and blends without taking out a second mortgage.... this is a retirement treat for me,and tastes just like I remember it absolutely marvellous. but don’t tell anyone cos they will want some. the delivery was excellent as well But the ‘80s and ‘90s saw a gradual move away from blends to concentrate on single malts. For many years, the 10 Year Old expression was the only one bottled by the distillery but in 1987 Glenmorangie released a 1963 vintage single malt which was finished in oloroso sherry casks. This was followed in the early ‘90s by a Port cask-finished whisky and then a plethora of other cask finishes like Madeira, sherry and Sauternes. The switch to single malts was completed in 2014 when the Bailie Nicol Jarvie was discontinued.

I can’t deny, I will still buy this for a while longer, as I find it that good, even with the expense. Potentially associated memories with it after drinking with my family making it taste even better. A very interesting whisky from Glenmorangie, its first made with barley kilned with botanicals. Inspired by the woodlands near Glenmorangie’s director of whisky creation Dr Bill Lumsden’s home, he decided to make a dram that would evoke the scents, sounds, and sights of the forest. It remained under the same ownership for the next 90 years, but Glenmorangie still suffered from the ups and downs that plagued the industry throughout the 20th century. The American market was particularly important for Macdonald & Muir with their Highland Queen blended whisky, named after Mary Queen of Scots. Consequently, Glenmorangie struggled throughout Prohibition, which came into force in 1919, and the distillery closed in 1931, only to reopen in 1936. The title says a lot about my reaction. I was stunned by the nose. It was... smokey? Like a gentle Islay peatiness...? (Think of the more mild pours of Bunnahabbain) What? In a Glenmorangie?? A hint of sweetness I couldn't place, but not quite the raisins and cocoa described in the notes. Certainly not the signature Glenmorangie sweetness I'm used to. Is the subtle smokiness I got, the "toasted..." described in the notes? It didn't seem near as subtle as "toasted," but okay. It's certainly not actually petty. But it was such a bold start.This deeply sweet and nutty small-batch release is the first Glenmorangie ever to be finished in rare Palo Cortado sherry casks. Aged for 12 years, it brings a new elegance to the Highland Distillery’s delicate style.

The whiskey is so well balanced for my palate. Some sweetness, nicely balanced bitterness from the coffee and dark chocolate, rounded out with the orange and tobacco. I get a hint of wood and barrel spice in there too The Signet was distilled twice through Glenmorangie's copper-pot stills, by a team of 16 distillers known as the 'Sixteen Men of Tain'. It was subsequently matured in bespoke American virgin oak casks before it was bottled at 46%, and received no chill-filtration. The old style 10 year old bottled produced by the 16 men of Tain and presented in a 1 litre offering.
