- Description
- Glenmorangie's first venture into Palo Cortado sherry finishing brings a fresh angle to the Highlands' most elegant distillery, pairing 12 years in bourbon cask with a secondary maturation in these rare Spanish casks. The result balances Glenmorangie's trademark floral and vanilla notes with dark stone fruit, roasted nuts, and subtle chocolate from the Palo Cortado influence. The texture is soft and refined, with a persistent finish of dried fruit and warming spice. A sophisticated dram for those seeking complexity beyond standard sherry finishes.
