Glenmorangie A Tale of Winter

Description

Nose

Honey: This is a prominent note, offering a sweetness that is both floral and inviting. It might remind you of honeycomb or summer meadows.

Citrus: Hints of orange peel or tangerine add a touch of brightness and freshness, balancing the sweetness of the honey.

Pear: A subtle note of pear adds a juicy and slightly tart dimension to the aroma.

Spice: A gentle whisper of spice, like cinnamon or nutmeg, lingers in the background, hinting at the warmth to come on the palate.

Palate

Honey: The honey carries over from the nose, but it’s joined by…

Vanilla: The vanilla notes, likely influenced by the bourbon cask maturation, create a smooth and creamy character.

Cinnamon & Ginger: These warming spices build on the hint from the nose, adding complexity and a pleasant heat. Imagine a sprinkle of cinnamon on a gingerbread cookie with a touch of ginger zing.

Dried Fruit: Raisins, sultanas, and perhaps even a hint of prune offer a rich sweetness and depth to the flavor profile.

Finish

Long and Warming: The finish lingers on the palate, leaving a pleasant warmth from the spices.

Spice & Fruit: The lingering notes of cinnamon, ginger, and dried fruit create a satisfying and memorable conclusion to the tasting experience.
