$1,455
The 18 Years Old is a single malt Scotch whisky of serious distinction. Once it has spent fifteen years maturing in American white oak casks approximately 30% is transferred into Spanish Oloroso casks to spend a further three years maturing. Then, when both elements have reached 18 years, they are blended back together to create a whisky with a rich bouquet and full, rounded flavour.

Tasting Notes By Michael Jackson
Nose: Some oak. More vanilla. Lots of walnuts. Touch of peppermint.
Palate: Fleshier. Good wood-extract and esters. Some peatiness emerging. The whole potpourri of spiciness.
Finish: Firm, dry, rounded. Nutty. Hint of peat.
Comment: While the middle brother in this range seems best to capture the Glenmorangie house character, this older version is a richer whisky. I could like them equally, according to my mood.

Tasting Notes By Jim Murray
Nose: Not as clean as usual. A distant sulphur note where the sherry should be. Sweet and pollen encrusted.
Palate: A short, sweet introduction fans out into a mixture of sherry and spice. Levels off with peppery maltiness.
Finish: A soft smokiness lingers endlessly as does the chocolate malt.
Comment: A rich, mouth-filling dram that offers surprising length and depth to the finish.

Tasting Notes By Dave Broom
Nose: Clean and layered with barley sugar, macadamia,honeysuckle with a waxy perfume reminiscent of frangipan. Some cinnamon,herbal.
Palate: Long and smooth with light dried fruit (sultana cake),some nutmeg giving lift then a creamy nuttiness (macadamia again and also cashew). When diluted that pine like herbal/sap note adds interest.
Finish: Cedar and syrup.
Comment: The second of Morangie’s twin peaks
