Glenmorangie 12 Years: A Classic Single Malt Aged in Bourbon Casks
Origin and Distillery
Glenmorangie 12 Years is a Highland single malt Scotch whisky, crafted by the prestigious Glenmorangie Distillery, renowned for its tall stills and exclusive use of first-quality American oak casks. Its production is nourished by the pure water from the Tarlogie spring.
Maturation: Exclusively in Bourbon Casks
Unlike other expressions from the brand, this Glenmorangie 12 Years is aged exclusively in ex-bourbon American oak casks, carefully selected by the distillery to ensure a smooth and creamy profile. This process enhances the vanilla notes and the classic character of the single malt.
