Why Gifted Pour recommends it
This is the bottle to reach for when you want to give a single malt that welcomes rather than challenges. Aged for 12 years exclusively in first- and second-fill American white oak bourbon casks, it shows Glenmorangie's light, floral Highland house style. Zesty citrus and ripening peach lead on the nose, followed by a smooth wave of vanilla, orange blossom, honey and almond on the palate, and a clean finish of toasted almond and coconut cream. It suits a friend just discovering Scotch, a colleague marking a promotion, or a host who appreciates something elegant to pour after dinner. The spirit comes from Scotland's tallest copper pot stills, which rise to the height of a giraffe, a detail that makes for a good story when the bottle is opened. Presented in a gift box, it feels considered without fuss. It is versatile once open: neat to catch the delicate layers, with a drop of water to draw out floral and nutty notes, over ice on a warm evening, or in a Whisky Sour or Penicillin.
