The Glenmorangie 13yo Barrel Select Release Cognac Cask Finish is a single malt whisky aged for 13 years, resulting from a rare experiment by Dr. Bill Lumsden with Cognac casks. This small-batch release elegantly combines notes of spice and leather with Glenmorangie's signature fruit flavors.
Matured in American white oak bourbon casks, the whisky is then finished in select cognac casks that have been filled many times over, softening the wood influence and bringing subtle notes of clove, pepper, and leather to the fore. Initially aged in ex-bourbon casks for eight years, the whisky is then finished in Cognac casks for an additional four years.
The aromas of this whisky include baked orchard fruits, forest floor, butter candy, cinnamon-baked apples, cedar wood, earthy moss, yellow plums, and leather. The palate offers notes of orange oil, buttery shortbread, clove, toasted almonds, caramelized fruit, warm pastry, toffee apples, pears, almonds, and mandarin orange. The finish is rich, long, and elegant, with a little zing of clove, star anise, and dried spices.
Bottled in May 2021 at 46% ABV, this limited release is free from chill filtration, showcasing the whisky's exceptional depth, body, and flavor, with a glorious, long finish. This is a small batch release from the renowned Glenmorangie distillery, offering a unique fusion of Scottish whisky-making tradition and the mellow charm of French Cognac.
