Detailed Description
Snowed in at home, Glenmorangie’s director of whisky creation, Dr. Bill, began dreaming of this whisky, his goal was to capture the snug and magical feeling of sitting in front of the fireplace as snow blankets the world outside. In pursuit of rich, radiant taste and wintery aroma, he finished the 13-year-old single malt in Marsala wine casks from Sicily.
Glenmorangie Allta Single Malt Scotch Whisky Tasting Notes
Nose: The experience begins with light flurries of fruit and honey, building to torrents of cocoa dust, flakes of red pepper, and chunks of brazil nut toffee.
Palate: It culminates in a ‘feels like forever’ finish that swirls with cinnamon, ginger, and clove.
Finish: Like the cozy comfort of a colorful winter jumper, this whisky’s bursts of bright, vivid flavor will delight your senses.
