Product description
Glenmorangie Distillery, the undisputed pioneer and leader in the field of whisky finishing, continues to experiment.
In addition to the "everyday" finishes, sherry (Lasanta), port (Quinta Ruban), or Sauternes (Nectar D'Òr), every year, thanks to master Bill Lumsden, we are tempted by new variants of this excellent whisky. In 2020, the "Barrel Select" series debuted with the Malaga Cask Finish edition, a year later, in August, we received another item - Cognac Cask Finish. This time, the whisky distilled in 2008 spent over eight years in American oak barrels, after which it was poured into cognac barrels, where it rested for over four years. To prevent the cognac from dominating the character of Glenmorangie, Dr. Lumsden used refill barrels.
