Glenmorangie Barrel Select Palo Cortado Sherry Cask Whisky 12 Year Old
In stock
This deeply sweet and nutty small-batch release is the first Glenmorangie ever to be finished in rare Palo Cortado sherry casks. Aged for 12 years, it brings a new elegance to the Highland Distillery’s delicate style.
The single malt spent its first eight years mellowing in American white oak bourbon casks. Then, delighted by that whisky’s smooth, soft character, Dr Bill was inspired to finish a select batch in Palo Cortado casks, never before used at Glenmorangie.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep copper-amber with radiant honey-gold highlights, a warm, sunlit glow.
Nose
Rich, elegant and rounded, with toffee, fudge and vanilla sweetness weaving through mossy notes and mulled-wine hints. Honeyed ginger and milk-chocolate truffle dusted with cinnamon emerge, while a splash of water releases orange sherbet, carnations and Brazil nuts.
Palate
Oily yet peppery on the palate opens to treacle toffee and milk chocolate, woven with clove, ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg. Raisins and dark plums rise with bittersweet orange, while baking rye bread and salted nuts provide a savory, balanced backbone. A glossy, indulgent mid-palate that lingers with spice and sweetness.
Finish
Long, nutty finish with warm spice, a whisper of leather and a delicate kiss of aniseed that lingers richly on the palate.
