Glenmorangie Barrel Select Release Malaga Cask Finish 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky (700ml)
Note: Product has come from a private collection and as such has some minor scuffing/scratches/handling marks. Actual product not pictured.
Another Glenmo' from the distillery's Barrel Select series (we've previously stocked the Cognac finish). Unveiled in the UK circa 2020, it's also one of a very few Glenmorangies to be bottled without chill filtration. Chances are it won’t be repeated.
Notes from the importers... Glenmorangie’s Director of Whisky Creation, Dr Bill Lumsden, got his hands on a small number of incredibly hard to come by first-fill Malaga ‘dulce’ casks – the dulce being from the sweeter end of the Malaga spectrum - and imagining the multitude of sweet and syrupy tastes the casks would provide, filled them with his finest eight-year-old Bourbon matured whisky, distilled 18th February 2008. After four years the very best Malaga casks were hand-selected for bottling in August 2020 at 47.3% ABV. Dr Bill was blown away by the whisky’s extraordinarily rich flavours. It was everything he’d hoped for… a dram that brings the sun-kissed flavours of the south of Spain to whisky lovers old and new. It's brimming with syrup pudding, milk chocolate, honeycomb and citrus fruits, along with gentle spices like cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg.
