A Glenmorangie with rich, refined sweetness, matured in sweet white wine casks, is born.

Inspired by memories of visiting French patisseries, Dr. Bill Lumsden, Glenmorangie’s Director of Whisky Creation, set out to create a whisky with dessert-like complexity. Carefully selected Glenmorangie, matured for 14 years in bourbon casks, was further aged for two years in four different premium sweet white wine casks and then married, resulting in a 16-year-old expression. Bottled at 46% ABV, it delivers lush sweetness and a character reminiscent of indulgent desserts.

The four sweet white wine casks used:

• France (Sauternes & Monbazillac casks): Bring luxurious aromas of pastry, brioche, meringue, and baked apple.

• Spain (Moscatel casks): Add sweet, syrupy dessert-like notes.

• Hungary (Tokaji casks): Contribute flavors of white chocolate, almond, and honey.

Official Tasting Notes
Color: Bronze gold
Nose: Rich, full, and almost decadent. Aromas of baked brioche, leesy wine, baked apricot, vanilla custard, toasted almond and chestnut, and chocolate truffle. With water, an explosion of candy sweetness appears, alongside orange syrup, flinty minerality, and distinctive herbal top notes such as sage and basil.
Palate: Smooth and slightly viscous in texture, yet well balanced by lemon notes. Layers of vanilla crème anglaise, baked apricot, warm raisin bread, roasted chestnut, and rich sweet spices including nutmeg and star anise unfold. Oak remains present throughout, perfectly balanced with sweet, fruity, and spicy nuances.
Finish: Long and lingering, with notes of lemon peel, freshly baked bread, and a gentle touch of honey.
