Product description
In autumn 2019, Glenmorangie Distillery unveiled a new offering for Travel Retail. It consists of three whiskies created by Dr Bill Lumsden, Glenmorangie’s creative director.
The grand launch of the new series took place in October 2019 at Dubai Airport, and a few months later it was available at all major airports in the world. The Accord, the youngest whisky in the list, was inspired by "a classic marriage of casks. Dr. Lumsden chose a traditional, delicately fruity Glenmorangie aged in bourbon barrels and balanced it with a sweet and spicy whisky from Oloroso sherry casks. The name 'The Accord' reflects the full harmony of both distillates." All whiskies in the series are bottled after prior cold filtration and are released in 1-litre bottles.
Nose : rich and well-balanced, vanilla, toffee, brown sugar, maple syrup, milk chocolate, oranges, apples, walnuts and raisins.
Palate : delicate notes of sherry, vanilla, raisins, cappuccino, sugared almonds, chocolate-covered plums, dried dates, toffee, marzipan and a touch of cloves.
Finish: quite long, with notes of vanilla, milk chocolate, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, a bit of leather and oak.
