Glenmorangie Calvados 12-year-old / 46% / 0.7l
Product description
Glenmorangie Calvados Cask Finish is the fifth release in the Barrel Select Release series, which sees the distillery explore the range of aromas that emerge from finishing in different casks. Combining jasmine, baked apple and pear aromas, this special 12 year old whisky reinvents the delicate depth to Glenmorangie’s renowned fruity style. Dr Bill Lumsden used whisky that had spent over ten years maturing in ex-bourbon American oak barrels, full of Glenmorangie’s signature elegance, before pouring it into barrels that had held Calvados from the Pays d’Auge in Normandy for twenty years.
Nose: An extremely aromatic whisky with notes of baked apples, pears, vanilla, almonds and a touch of beeswax. After adding a bit of water, floral notes appear - jasmine and heather. At the end, you can notice the aroma of sweet pastries.
Palate: The mouthfeel is full, oily and slightly spicy. It leads to an explosion of sweet flavours. Baked pears, candied apples, marzipan, anise and chocolate pralines combine with flavours of lemon tart, eucalyptus and baked goods.
Finish: Long, lingering and refreshing.
