Pear Pear Fruit Fruit Sweet Sweet
Variety Single malt whisky
Aroma Notes of baked apples, pears, vanilla, almonds and a light wax note. If you add a little water, fragrant, floral notes of narcissus, jasmine and heather honey appear, followed by aromas of sweet pastries.
Taste Oily and spicy at the same time, leading into a wealth of sweet flavours. Notes of baked pears, candied apples, almond marzipan, star anise and praline come together with some lemon balm, eucalyptus and a hint of charcoal.
Finish Long, persistent and very slightly cooling.

Product description

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.

The Distillery: Glenmorangie

The stretch of land in the Northern Highland on which Glenmorangie stands has been the site for alcohol production (mostly illicit) since the Middle Ages, setting a formidable legacy. Glenmorangie was founded in 1843, although operation didn’t start until 1849. read more

Aroma: Vanilla :Pear Apple

Geschmack: Apple Raisin Caramel Almonds

Abgang: Sweet Raisin

Kommentar: Nichts für Anfänger. Geschmack entwickelt sich von sip zu sip. Aber die Calvados-Note die man erwartet, ist leider nur schwach ausgeprägt. Da gibt es Interessante von Glenmorangie.

Geschmack: Sweet Oak Ginger Pepper

Abgang: Chili Oak Caramel Malt

Kommentar: Bisher hat mich kein Whisky der Barrel Select Serie enttäuscht. Auch dieser nicht. Kann ich empfehlen. Sehr lecker.

Aroma: Kräftig in der Nase, gefühlt wenig Aroma zuerst zu riechen

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" abverlangtAppleAlcohol Herb Green Apple
