Silky and smooth to the taste, Glenmorangie 18 Year Old further entrances the palate with an accord of melting honey, creamy malt and aromatic florals coupled with the arm, syrupy languor of sherry.

Achieving such a rare single malt whisky as Glenmorangie 18 Year Old requires a dedication to the craft of whisky distillation following time-honoured techniques. Those 'in the know' will appreciate the rarity of this sensory experience and the long tradition of excellence it represents.
Background: The exquisite purity of single malt Scotch whisky produced by the Glenmorangie distillery is testament to a tradition that dates back to 1843. On the south side of the Dornoch Firth, The Sixteen Men of Tain follow the mystical art of turning barley and water into this famously complex and alluring whisky. The original spirit is finessed for eighteen years in oak casks, gilding the fruity floral delicacy for which Glenmorangie is renowned with soft and luscious flavours of vanilla and coconut. This gentle process of maturation takes place in stone-built, earth-floored warehouses to ensure time-honoured perfection. |
