Glenmorangie — the most complex standard age-stated expression from Glenmorangie, matured across three distinct cask types — ex-bourbon, Oloroso sherry, and Burgundy wine casks — in the Highland distillery famous for operating the tallest pot stills in Scotland.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGlenmorangie's stills stand 5.14 meters tall — the height of a regulation basketball net — taller than virtually any other Scottish distillery's wash stills. The height forces the heavier, oilier spirit compounds to fall back down before reaching the neck, producing a lighter, more delicate new make spirit that takes particularly well to complex cask maturation. This is why Glenmorangie pioneered wine cask finishing in Scotch whisky in 1994 — the delicate spirit amplifies rather than competes with the cask's character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 18 Year adds Burgundy wine cask maturation to the bourbon and Oloroso combination of earlier expressions, producing the dried flower, stone fruit, and spice character that three diverse cask types develop over 18 years in the Highland climate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Honey, flowers, light toffee, orange zest, fudge\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Burnt apple, candied nuts, dried fruit, vanilla, warming spice\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long, complex, nutty and sweet\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Glenmorangie, Tain, Ross-shire, Highland, Scotland\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky, Three Cask Matured\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18 years\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eCasks:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ex-bourbon, Oloroso sherry, Burgundy wine\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 43%\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse all \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/scotch\"\u003eScotch whisky at Wooden Cork\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhy are Glenmorangie's stills so tall?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe height forces heavier spirit compounds to fall back before reaching the neck, producing a lighter, more delicate new make than shorter stills would.
