Glenmorangie 25 Year Old The Quarter Century

Wine information: An extremely rare and limited bottling of 25 year old Glenmorangie. The Flagship of their range. Glenmorangie's tasting notes - Aroma: The lingering late summer scent of fruit orchards laden with cherries and plums and hedgerow blackberries is melded with lavish chocolate and coffee tones followed by the sudden, icy clarity of fresh wild mint. A splash of water takes you into shady woods where the heady aroma of dark, syrup forest fruits including blackberries, redcurrants and bramble jelly linger, then give way to the aroma of sweet marzipan, tropical coconut and cinnamon-spiced orchard fruits. Taste: Big and full-flavoured, the effect is mouth-watering, chewy and then lightly mouthcoating. The initial explosion of sweet and bosky redcurrant and blackberry forest fruits bursts onto the tongue to be replaced by the sugary spiciness of mint humbugs that cools the sides of the palate. Then a clear and enlivening herbal flavour of aniseed sprinkled with cinnamon emerges, leaving the mouth tingling with effervescence, only to be sated by background flavours of bramble and warming spiciness. Finish: Intense warmth, heady with brambles and spices that melts softly away.
