Glenmorangie 1996

At first look, a beautiful golden honey colour meets the eyes. On the nose, we get a soft yet complex aroma of dried apples, vanilla, honey and dried banana at the very end. When things get closer to home, the palate takes us on a ride with flavours of peaches, pears and nutty oak. After standing (or sitting) for a little while, there is a fading, honeyed-apple-crumble character on the finish. What struck me most was how balanced this is. Anyone can tell that this whisky spent its life in an ex-bourbon cask. Simply gorgeous! Siggi Gunnlaugsson, Account Manager, Berry Bros. & Rudd (April 2023)
