Step into the world of Glenmorangie 13 Year Old Barrel Select Cognac Finish, where Scottish whisky-making tradition meets the mellow charm of French Cognac. This exceptional single malt Scotch whisky, aged for 13 years, is the realization of Master Distiller Dr. Bill Lumsden’s long-held vision to harmoniously blend the delicate, fruity essence of Glenmorangie with the soft, mellifluous character of Cognac.
Dr. Lumsden, in his pursuit of this unique fusion, faced a challenge: the potent influence of new French oak casks often risked overshadowing Glenmorangie’s subtle spirit. His solution was both innovative and inspired. He handpicked casks that had been seasoned over multiple fillings, ensuring a milder wood influence. This careful selection process allowed the casks to impart nuanced flavours, adding an exquisite complexity to the whisky without overwhelming its innate character. Bottled at 46% abv, this small batch release is also presented with no chill-filtration; allowing for a richer mouthfeel and texture.
