Product description
Glenmorangie whisky has been available since the 1920s and we can risk saying that the 10-year-old version, one of the most popular in its category, was finding buyers long before World War II.
The 10-year-old presented here in the 100º Proof version was part of the Travel Retail offer in the 1980s and 1990s, replaced at the end of the century by the Traditional 100º Proof edition. The term 100º Proof refers to the old British system of measuring ethanol content in alcoholic drinks, assuming 1 proof = 7/4 abv. To determine the percentage, multiply the Proof number by 4 and then divide the result by 7 (100 x 4 = 400; 400 : 7 = 57.2).
Nose: floral-grassy, hay barn, summer meadow, vanilla, honey, orange peel, cloves, oak and a distant note of peat.
Palate: fresh, slightly malty, vanilla cream, caramel, toffee, cooked apples and pears, lemongrass, orange peel, pinch of salt and oak.
Finish: long and soothing, vanilla, toffee, orange and a pinch of salt.
