LIBRARIAN'S VERDICT

The quintessential floral malt. It is widely considered the most accessible single malt in the world, offering a level of complexity and elegance that belies its friendly price point.

The Library Note

Founded in 1843, Glenmorangie is famous for its 'giraffe' stills—stills as tall as a full-grown giraffe—which ensure only the lightest, purest vapors make it to the top.

Sommelier's Perspective

THE NOSE

A garden of citrus and ripening peaches, softened by the aroma of vanilla and a hint of wild mint.

THE PALATE

Creamy and gentle. Italian lemon, apricot, and honey give way to a sophisticated vanilla-toffee sweetness and a touch of geranium.

THE FINISH

Clean and refreshing with a lingering citrus zest and a faint, sweet maltiness.

Sensory Profile

Served neat or with a splash of water to release the floral bouquet. It also makes an exceptional 'Highland Highball' with soda and a slice of fresh orange.

Composition

Malted Barley
Spring Water

EXPERT TECHNIQUE

Distilled in the tallest pot stills in Scotland to ensure maximum copper-to-vapor contact, followed by 10 years of maturation in first and second-fill American white oak ex-bourbon casks.
