Glenmorangie 25 Year Old The Altus

A new and permanent expression, and proclaimed pinnacle of the Glenmorangie core portfolio, the Altus 25 Year Old is a dreamer’s dram. Created in the spirit of ‘what if’, this creation took Glenmorangie’s signature spirit and gently matured it in bespoke bourbon casks handpicked by their whisky creation team. Thes casks which were hand hewn and air dried to exact specifications, before being finished in a Madeira wine cask, elevating the liquid’s profile.

Bottled at a smooth 43% abv, you can expect a nose of fragrant carnation, rose, orange blossom, honey and peach, underscored with hints of vanilla and almond and classic Glenmorangie fruits, with peach and pear. The palate is oily and luscious, with sweet, fruity flavours. Mandarin, apples, pears and peaches, with a burst of tart gooseberry and hard, yellow plums. Then, gently sweet butter- candy notes, with soft oak-derived flavours – almond marzipan, icing sugar and ripe banana.

And if you like your drams with a bit of Hollywood glamour, here’s a fun fact – one of the very first people to sip this exquisite new expression was Harrison Ford!
