Product description
With the Glenmorangie Calvados - Barrel Select, Dr Bill Lumsden presents a new creation. The whisky was matured for the first time in rare Calvados casks and is the fifth bottling in the Barrel Select series. With a maturation period of 12 years, this experimental bottling represents the delicate Glenmorangie style. The rare Calvados casks aroused particular interest from Dr Lumsden to see how the elegant pome fruit notes combine with the fruity style of the Highland distillery's single malt whisky. Initially, the whisky is matured for 10 years in ex-bourbon casks and matures for a further two years in casks that previously contained Calvados du Pays d'Auge for 20 years. The result is a successful addition to the Barrel Select range, revealing fruity-floral flavours and subtle vanilla notes and adding a new, subtle depth to Glenmorangie's well-known fruit character. The Limited Edition is a tribute to the art of cask maturation.

Finish
Geschmack: Der Calvados kommt sehr dezent und ist etwas unterdrückt am Anfang. Nach ein paar Sekunden im Mund stärker vernehmbar
Abgang: Würde sagen mittelang und kräftig
Kommentar: Dieser Whisky ist etwas für Kenner und Spezialisten. Anfänger werden damit gar nicht zurecht kommen weil er sehr viel vom "Trinker" abverlangt
