Glenmorangie 'The Original' 12 Year Old

Glenmorangie 'The Original' 12 Year Old is the recently upgraded flagship single malt from the renowned Highland distillery, elegantly replacing its classic 10-year-old predecessor. Distilled in Scotland's tallest copper stills—which ensure only the lightest, purest vapors reach the condenser—this delicate spirit is then aged for a full 12 years in a combination of first- and second-fill American white oak ex-bourbon casks. The additional two years of maturation deepen its signature creamy complexity, resulting in a supremely smooth, approachable, and fruit-forward whisky that perfectly balances vibrant citrus, sweet peach, and rich vanilla.

Food Pairing: Smoked salmon, seared scallops, soft cheeses like Brie or Camembert, lemon tart, peach cobbler, or vanilla panna cotta.

Tasting Notes : Bright, pale lemon gold in appearance with a soft, creamy, and velvety mouthfeel.

Nose : Fresh and highly fragrant, bursting with vibrant aromas of mandarin orange, ripe peach, sweet vanilla bean, and delicate floral notes.

Palate : Creamy and elegant, delivering a luscious wave of rich vanilla, sweet honey, and zesty orange citrus, perfectly intertwined with ripe stone fruit and a gentle whisper of warming baking spice.

Finish : Clean, medium-length, and highly refreshing, leaving a lingering sweetness of peach, orange peel, and soft oak vanilla.

Serve : Serve neat, with a few drops of water to open up the floral aromatics, or poured over ice with premium soda water for a classic Highball.
