This ten-year-old single malt whisky is carefully crafted through a marriage of this pristine spirit with first and second fill American white oak casks. Among these casks are the renowned ‘designer casks’ from Missouri, which are slow-grown and air-dried to impart unique characteristics to the maturing whisky. Over the course of a decade, the whisky undergoes a transformative journey within these casks, absorbing the flavors and aromas that define its final profile.
During maturation, Glenmorangie Original strikes a delicate balance between sweetness and complexity. The influence of the ex-bourbon casks infuses the whisky with subtle vanilla and caramel notes, while hints of oak add depth and character. The result is a matured spirit that exudes softness, mellowness, and a creamy texture, inviting enthusiasts to indulge in its luxurious profile.
Each sip of Glenmorangie Original offers a sensory experience like no other. The aroma tantalizes the senses with floral notes, hints of citrus, and a touch of spice, foreshadowing the rich flavors to come. On the palate, the whisky unfolds with layers of sweetness, from honey and toffee to ripe fruits, all underlined by a gentle oakiness that lingers on the finish.
Beyond its exquisite taste, Glenmorangie Original embodies a legacy of craftsmanship and dedication to quality. It serves as the cornerstone of the Glenmorangie range, a testament to the brand’s commitment to producing whiskies of unparalleled excellence. Whether savored neat, on the rocks, or as part of a cocktail, Glenmorangie Original invites enthusiasts to embark on a journey of discovery and appreciation for the artistry of Scotch whisky.
