Glenmorangie Whisky

By Maltmannie

Even if you’re not a whisky enthusiast, you may well have heard of Glenmorangie whisky. This single malt is, depending on which statistic you believe, the 3rd best selling single malt in the world (in volume) and usually appears as the UK’s best selling whisky. Of the 10 million Glenmorangie whisky bottles produced annually, six to six and a half million are sold in the UK. Glenmorangie whisky has a massive six per cent share of the global whisky market.

Glenmorangie Whisky’s Perfume and Wood Polish

Glenmorangie whisky is well-known for its sweet aroma. You’ll find caramel, butterscotch and marzipan aspects to its nose (the technical name for the smell given off when you swirl the drink in a whisky tasting). But this could be a red herring, as the company’s liking for wood finishes can deter some first-time Glenmorangie whisky drinkers. Perhaps unusually, Glenmorangie whisky’s producers lend their specially selected and created casks to the Jack Daniels boubon distillery in Lynchburg, Tennessee for a total of four years. This is in order to give the whisky the desired wood finish.

But it seems that whisky taste can even be affected by where you pile your Glenmorangie whisky casks. Cellar 13 is the expression that is most seasidey, being shelved closest to the sea.
