Description
Glenmorangie 18 Year Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky – 750ml | 43% ABV
Process & Aging
This expression is aged for 15 years in American white oak ex-bourbon casks, building a smooth and fruity foundation. A portion of the whisky is then transferred to Oloroso sherry casks for an additional 3 years before being reunited, creating a layered and complex final blend.
This dual maturation process results in a whisky that combines bright floral elegance with the richness of dried fruit and nutty spice.
Appearance
Deep golden amber with warm copper tones, reflecting its extended aging and sherry cask influence.
