The most special whisky of Glenmorangie’s “Extra Matured” series according to me. It completes a 12 year maturation period in ex-bourbon casks and then it is finished in famous French Sauternes casks on wine residue.
Beside having a white wine palate experience, it also possesses a rich aroma character. I always recall the term “Liquid Gold” when I observe the bottle.
It is a really great whisky to drink in summer months, however I never thought not drinking it through the year.
Gotta share this scotch !!
