Glenmorangie 12 Year Old – The Original (Bourbon Casks)
The flagship Glenmorangie Original has been reimagined by the Highland Distillery, with the minimum age of the whisky raised to at least 12 years old. The single malt Scotch, which won a gold medal at the World Whiskies Awards 2024 before it was even released to the public, was adapted by Dr Bill Lumsden, Glenmorangie’s director of whisky creation and his team as they felt there was extra silkiness, complexity, and sweetness to be gained by going to 12 years old.
Glenmorangie 12 Year Old – The Original (Bourbon Casks)
Region: Highland
Nose The nose is inviting and very orange – Jaffa Cakes and marmalade – initially. It retains this note throughout, every time you nose it again there’s more heaps of marmalade, spread on a buttery croissant for good measure. But stone fruits emerge too, think tinned peaches and nectarines, as well as banana bread, caramel shortbread, Brazil nuts, oak char, and a flowery perfumed quality.
Palate The palate is soft and a little chalky, but also thick and tongue-coating in texture. There’s more orange and vanilla at its core, then comes apricot, dark chocolate, floral honeysuckle, lemon drop, pepper, and a warm, cosy flavour of pastries from a pâtisserie.
Finish The finish is crisp and almost a little tart with tropical fruit sweetness, green apple, chalky minerality, and honey.
