Glenmorangie Astar Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Out of stock
Featured in the 1001 whiskies to try before you die book and the original Astar (Gaelic for journey) release and not the second one from 2017 bottled at lower abv.
Aged in specially selected American oak from the Ozark mountains in Missouri,USA.
Chosen by Master distiller Dr Bill Lumsden for its slower ageing potential and different flavour profile to standard re-fill American oak casks.
An experimental release that is like a super charged over the top version of the best selling Glenmorangie 10 year old, a faultless and lush offering from this ever popular Highland distillery.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep golden amber with warm honey undertones and coppery highlights, a sunlit, luxurious glow.
Nose
A lush, creamy core of vanilla and coconut opens, with creme brulee, pannacotta, almond sponge cake and citrus curd unfolding, followed by baked meringue, white chocolate, Turkish delight and a whisper of freshly shaved wood.
Palate
Vanilla fudge, coconut, sugared almonds, white chocolate truffles, dusting of white pepper, some sappy oak, orange oil, lemon curd and meringue.
Finish
Vanilla and coconut linger, with sugared almonds and a dusting of icing sugar on white grapefruit. Turkish delight sweetness threads through, while melted white chocolate rests atop soft meringue, leaving a creamy, confectionery fade.
