Glenmorangie Triple Cask Reserve

Volume: 0.7 litres | Alcohol content: 40% | Chill filtration: Yes | Colouring: Yes

Special Features:

Glenmorangie Triple Cask Reserve combines three cask types: traditional ex-bourbon casks, new charred oak and former rye whiskey casks. Master Blender Gillian Macdonald uses bourbon casks and new oak to bring out the Highland spirit’s characteristic fruity sweetness. The rye whiskey casks add savoury notes and subtle spice. This previous cask use, uncommon in Scotch whisky, brings an additional influence to the composition. Triple Cask Reserve is part of Glenmorangie’s core range.

Fruity and floral impressions meet creamy dessert notes and finely balanced spice. On the palate, the influence of oak emerges as the flavours develop, with maple syrup, almond marzipan and gentle spices. The whisky is offered at 40% in a bottle containing 0.7 litres and comes in gift packaging.

Tasting Notes:

• Nose: The nose reveals abundant fruit with tropical hints, pear and pear sweets. Vanilla, candied orange peel, honeysuckle and grapefruit add to the aromas. Cinnamon, clove and nutmeg provide gentle spicy accents before a generous sweetness unfolds again.
• Palate: On the palate, the whisky is creamy and thick in texture. Crème brûlée, cherry chocolate, fudge and zesty orange sherbet powder meet clove, sweet chilli and tropical fruit. The influence of oak then emerges with maple syrup, almond marzipan and subtle spice.
• Finish: The finish remains rich, sweet and spicy, with a dense, almost chewy texture.

Distillery/Bottler:

The Glenmorangie Distillery is located in Tain in the Scottish Highlands. Its history dates back to 1843. Exceptionally tall copper stills shape its light, fruit-led house style: their height gives the rising vapours ample space and encourages a delicate, aromatic spirit. The stills also inspired the giraffe as the distillery’s symbol. Master Blender Gillian Macdonald is responsible for the composition of Triple Cask Reserve. The whisky is an official Glenmorangie bottling.
