This latest release is said to have been inspired by Glenmorangie’s Highland surroundings. Their rugged, natural splendour evokes a sense of deep harmony, reflected in the harmonious flavours of this single malt. Fruity smoothness emerges from whisky aged in Bourbon casks. Fuller, richer notes are brought by whisky finished in new charred oak casks. Those classic notes are balanced by drier, savoury hints of clove, nutmeg and cinnamon, from single malt wholly matured in Rye whiskey casks.
Commenting on the launch, Gillian Macdonald, Glenmorangie’s
Master Blender, said: “By uniting these three different cask types in
Glenmorangie Triple Cask Reserve we have created a deeply harmonious whisky.
Using bourbon and new charred oak, we celebrate our whisky’s classic, fruity
sweetness. Laced with the savoury notes and subtle spice of rye whiskey casks –
seldom used at Glenmorangie – this whisky brings a new balance of flavours to
our core range. Inspired by the Highlands’ natural splendour, its luscious
aromas of pear, candied orange peel and honeysuckle, and tastes of vanilla,
maple syrup and clove, promise to delight everyone who tries our delicious
single malt.”
Glenmorangie Triple Cask, is now available in the UK from
Sainsbury’s and Tesco, ahead of rolling out in Germany, France, the US and
South Africa. RRP £33.00.
