Glenmorangie 12 years Calvados Cask 0.7l, alc. 46% by volume

Evidence of (illegal) whiskey distilling in the region around the town of Tain dates back to around 1700, but legal whiskey has only been produced at the Glenmorangie Distillery since 1843. The distillery was the first to begin maturing its whiskey in other barrels on a large scale. Over the years, the distillery has been expanded several times, but they deliberately stuck to the small but tall stills, which are unique in shape in all of Scotland.

Glenmorangie 12 Years Calvados Cask first matured in former bourbon barrels and was then matured in Calvados du Pays d'Auge barrels. Bottled at 43% vol. Alcohol.

Aroma: Notes of baked apples, pears, vanilla, almonds and a slight waxy note. If you add a little water, fragrant, floral notes of narcissus, jasmine and heather honey appear, followed by aromas of sweet pastry.

Taste: Oily and spicy at the same time, leading to a wealth of sweet aromas. Notes of baked pears, candied apples, almond marzipan, star anise and praline come together with some lemon balm, eucalyptus and a touch of charcoal.
