Product description
In autumn 2019, Glenmorangie Distillery presented a new offer for the Travel Retail chain.
It consists of three whiskies by Dr. Bill Lumsden, creative director of Glenmorangie. The grand premiere of the new series took place in October 2019 at Dubai Airport, a few months later it was available at all major airports. The Tribute, the oldest whisky in the series, is a nod to the times when Glenmorangie distilled from malted barley with peat. Bowing to tradition, Lumsden distilled a whisky of a similar character and after 16 years of maturation blended it with Glenmorangie proper to today's standards. All whiskies in the series are bottled after prior cold filtration and are released on the market in litre bottles.
Nose: floral and slightly smoky, spring meadow, forest floor, vanilla, white chocolate, orange and lemon peel, pineapples and a touch of coconut flakes.
Palate: mild, vanilla cream, toffee, oranges, pears, pink grapefruits, roasted nuts, salted caramel, traces of anise and peat smoke in the background.
Finish : quite long, with notes of citrus, vanilla, toffee, roasted nuts and peat smoke.
