The rarest and oldest member of the Glenmorangie family, this is a single malt of notable class and intensity. Full bodied and sumptuous, the Glenmorangie 25 Years Old is the real embodiment of the distillery's continued dedication to perfection. Matured in a range of casks including American white oak, Oloroso sherry casks and French Burgundy casks before being blended back together in exact quantities, the Glenmorangie Quarter Century is complex, bursting with deep flavours, and a perfect testimony to their knowledge and experience.

Tasting Notes from Whiskyfun (Serge Valentin)
Nose: maybe a little more discreet than the 18 at first nosing, but also more elegant. Starts on rather superb notes of quince jelly (I really love that) and apricot pie and starts developing on layers of very ripe fruits (plums, raspberries, very ripe melon) and all things from a beehive (pollen, wax, honey). There’s also a little smoke, fresh walnuts just like in the new 18, fresh herbs, roasted peanuts… And then it’s back on all sorts of jams, such as mirabelle or grape. Rather luscious, creamy, jammy… Yet, it’s not very bold whisky. Keywords: elegant jam (well, I guess I wouldn’t make it to the very enviable position of the guy who writes these ‘baselines’ at the SMWS…)
Mouth: incredibly creamier, thicker and… better than the 18. Not too far from pure honey actually, with also all these fruit jams again, high-end fruit liqueurs, nougat and praline, dates filled with marzipan… The oak is well here in the background, giving the whole a very perfect backbone and hints of spices that prevent the whole from getting slightly lumpish. And just like in the old 10yo, there’s also a little salt that plays with your tongue and with your lips. The balance is truly perfect, at that.
If you like creamy, fruity and honeyed whiskies, this is for you.

Tasting Notes By Dave Broom
Nose: Light and spicy. Toasted pine nuts, citrus fruits, cereal. Stewed orange, jasmine, almond.
Palate: Mulled, spicy warmth. Fragrant and exciting. Tangerine, banana, lemon. Well-balanced with soft, sweet oak.
Finish: Those spices again. Tangerine jelly and cream.
Comment: Seems much younger than it is. Has real charm.

Tasting Notes By Michael Jackson
Nose: An old shop, with fittings in polished oak, leather and brass. A ship’s chandlers’, perhaps?
Palate: Big. Cakey. Oily. Beeswax.
Finish:Late gingery spiciness with some saltiness.
Comment: A confident, handsome whisky.
