Glenmorangie 18-Year Single Malt Scotch Whiskey

Glenmorangie 18-Year Single Malt, frequently labeled “Extremely Rare,” is part of the distillery’s prestige range, crafted to showcase depth and nuance developed over nearly two decades of maturation. After spending fifteen years in American white oak bourbon barrels, about 30% of the whisky is transferred to Spanish Oloroso sherry casks for an additional three years, then reunited for bottling. This careful maturation yields a whisky with an alluring golden amber color and layered aromas of creamy vanilla, candied pecans, stewed orchard fruits, and a subtle citrus tang. On the palate, expect a velvety-smooth texture highlighted by honey, caramel, tropical fruits like nectarines and peaches, hints of apricot, orange zest, gentle spice, and butterscotch, balanced by floral notes of jasmine and lemon blossom. The finish is long and gently warming, with lingering impressions of oak, grilled grapefruit, and caramelized sugars.
