The Glenmorangie Triple Cask Reserve Highland Single Malt Scotch is a relatively newer offering from Glenmorangie, known for their premium single malts. This expression typically blends whiskies aged in three different types of casks, which gives it a unique complexity compared to Glenmorangie's other expressions. Here's a bit more detail on what you can expect from the Triple Cask Reserve:
Tasting Notes:
- Nose: The aroma is often described as fruity and floral, with notes of citrus, apple, and pear. The wood influence comes through as well, with hints of vanilla and honey.
- Palate: On the palate, the whisky is generally smooth and well-balanced. Expect flavors of toffee, malt, and a touch of spice. The combination of casks provides a depth of flavors, including a subtle oaky finish.
- Finish: The finish is typically long and slightly sweet, with a bit of spice lingering.
Cask Types:
The "Triple Cask" aspect refers to the blending of whiskies aged in three different types of casks, which might include:
- American Oak (ex-bourbon barrels) – Imparts vanilla and caramel notes.
- European Oak (ex-sherry casks) – Adds dried fruit and spice elements.
- A third type of cask could vary depending on the specific bottling, but it often includes either additional ex-sherry or wine casks that introduce further complexity and richness.
Additional Information:
- Proof: 80 (40% ABV)
- Packaging: Please note, this item is not shipped in the original packaging.
Ideal For:
It is a great option for those who appreciate a smooth, multi-dimensional whisky that isn't too overpowering but still offers a range of flavors to explore. It's perfect for both sipping neat or enjoying on the rocks, but also versatile enough for whisky cocktails.
If you're looking for a whisky that balances sweetness, fruitiness, and a touch of spice with a sophisticated finish, the Glenmorangie Triple Cask Reserve could be a great addition to your collection!
