Glenmorangie A Tale of Cake

Nez

Complex, rich and multi-layered, with a burst of passion fruit, peach, pear, mango. More savoury notes like baking bread, gentle sappy oak and a curious, flinty minerality emerge. This is then followed by classic Glenmorangie notes like honeycomb, vanilla and almond, with a hint of milk chocolate. With a splash of water, more zesty notes emerge, like apricot, elderflower, flowering currents, honey pollen and peach syrup.

Bouche

The mouthfeel is surprisingly luscious and tart at the same time, leading into a burst of sweet, cake-like honey, white chocolate, apricot, almond, vanilla and pear.
This is balanced by a hint of tangy orange and menthol, both classic Glenmorangie flavours.

Finale

The lingering aftertaste again reminds you of a delicious combination of honeycomb, chocolate almond and pecan nuts.

Conclusion

The liquid is a rich copper, but the taste is pure technicolour, luscious, sweet and complex with multi-layered bursts of honey, white chocolate and fruits with a lilting hint of mint. As you might expect, it tastes incredible when enjoyed with actual cake.

Information
