Glenmorangie Emblem Gift Set

Description

Aroma

The initial whiff is an invitation to a delightful orchard. Imagine a basket overflowing with dried fruits like plump figs and juicy apricots. These sweet and slightly tart aromas are intertwined with hints of caramel and vanilla, hinting at the influence of maturation in ex-sherry casks. As you delve deeper, a subtle touch of oak emerges, adding a touch of complexity and dryness.

Palate

The first sip delivers on the promise of the nose – smooth and mellow. The sweetness from the dried fruits translates beautifully onto the palate. Imagine biting into a fig, with its rich and honeyed character. This sweetness is balanced by the influence of the sherry casks, adding a touch of caramel and a hint of raisin. Don’t miss the subtle notes of oak spice, which might present as a touch of cinnamon or clove. These spices add complexity and depth, preventing the sweetness from becoming cloying. A surprising note of dark chocolate might emerge in the background, adding a touch of richness and sophistication. The overall texture is velvety and leaves a pleasant warmth on the tongue.

Finish

The finish of Glenmorangie Original is a delightful balance of sweetness and dryness. The lingering sweetness from the dried fruits and caramel fades slowly, leaving a touch of oak spice on the back of the throat. This oaky dryness ensures the finish isn’t overly sweet and provides a clean and refreshing conclusion.
