Product description
Of the Glenmorangie Distillery's fourteen lager warehouses, No. 13 is the closest to the sea.
Glenmorangie Cellar 13 Edition debuted in the late 90s in the Travel Retail chain and remained there until 2007. The whiskies used in its composition were aged for 10 to 12 years exclusively in first-fill bourbon barrels in the aforementioned warehouse. The basic difference between the standard 10-year-old version and Cellar 13 resulted from the location of the warehouse and the greater exposure of the distillates to the salty sea air. Glenmorangie is today the fourth most popular single malt (behind Glenfiddich, Glenlivet and Macallan) with annual sales of around 6.5 million bottles.
Aroma: fresh, floral, fresh grass, apples, coconut flakes, vanilla, breakfast cereals, walnuts, white chocolate, traces of cinnamon and mint and a gentle breath of sea breeze.
Palate: malty floral, vanilla cream, buttered toast, apples, cinnamon, lemongrass, candied ginger, a pinch of salt and some oak.
Finish: long, malty and spicy, with a hint of salt mixed with the sweetness of vanilla.
