Glenmorangie 18 years Extremely Rare

Glenmorangie 18 years truly earns its title “Extremely Rare.” This exquisite single malt is the product of time, care, and craftsmanship. Matured for 15 years in ex-bourbon casks, a portion is transferred to Oloroso sherry casks for the final three years. The result is an elegant balance of fruity richness, creamy depth, and gentle spice – a refined Highland dram for discerning palates.

Tasting Notes

Nose

Rich aromas of honey, ripe apricots, and vanilla cream, followed by toasted almonds, orange zest, and a gentle sherry influence. Elegant, layered, and inviting.

Palate

Smooth and silky on the tongue, with flavors of honeycomb, dried figs, butterscotch, and toasted oak. Perfectly balanced between sweetness, fruit, and oak, with soft cinnamon and nutmeg spice.

Finish

Long, rounded, and warming. The finish is velvety, offering notes of chocolate, almond, and a touch of orange peel. Subtle yet memorable – a whisky that wears its age with grace.
