Glenmorangie - The Altus Single Malt Scotch 25 year old Whisky

The journey to The Altus 25 Years Old started with “what if”, as every Glenmorangie creation does. With this mindset, they matured their signature spirit for 25 years in bespoke bourbon casks.

The result was worth the wait –a gloriously well aged whisky, its flavour magnified... Driven to reach even more decadent heights, Glenmorangie then married this whisky with a Madeira wine cask finish, elevating its profile as classic fruity tones meet heady sweetness and spice.

One of the very first people to sip this exquisite new expression? Glenmorangie’s biggest fan, Harrison Ford. When Harrison spent time with the Distillery Team in Tain, he was lucky enough to sample this quarter- century expression, before it had even left the distillery to be bottled! You will discover this tasting in Episode 10 of Once Upon a Time in Scotland.

Colour: A decadent & delicious amber

Nose: A beautifully rich yet soft and aromatic bouquet greets you, with fragrant carnation and rose, orange blossom, honey and peach. This is underscored with hints of vanilla and almond, and a touch of nutty toffee, from the Madeira cask inclusion. Finally, you’ll uncover some classic Glenmorangie fruits, with peach and pear.

Palate: Oily and luscious, leading to a burst of sweet, fruity flavours. Mandarin, apples, pears and peaches, with a burst of tart gooseberry and hard, yellow plums. Then, gently sweet butter[1]candy notes, with soft oak - derived flavours - almond marzipan, icing sugar and ripe banana.
