Glenmorangie Bill Lumsden x Azuma Makoto Single Malt Scotch Whisky 23 Year Old
In stock
With such a whisky in mind, Dr Bill first tasted Glenmorangie long aging in bourbon casks where he found scents of jasmine sprigs, lemon balsam, armfuls of orchids and peaches fresh from the tree. Then imagining how he would ground those flavours in the depths of deliciousness, Dr Bill picked out his first ever malt finished in Chardonnay white wine casks from Burgundy. Before 2006, such casks had never been used at Glenmorangie.
That year, fascinated to discover how their wood might shape Glenmorangie, he had filled a small handful with aged whisky. Lond finished in this way, his experimental casks revealed noted of burning oak bark, moss dampened be rainfall and the earthy scents of the forest floor. Finally, Dr Bill judiciously entwined a small handful of the chardonnay casks with those classic bourbon casks. Like this he created our Shinra Bansho, a truly elemental single malt, rich, mellow and intriguingly deep.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber-gold with coppery edges and a warm honey glow.
Nose
Rich, heady and fragrant, this nose erupts with syrupy peach, pineapple, damson and plum, then savory hints of burning oak bark, roasting chestnuts and baking sourdough meeting damp forest floor. With a touch of water, herbal and floral notes unfold, along with scented orchids and grapey, vinous whispers.
Palate
Rich, sweet and fruity with a waxy, mouth-coating texture. Lemon balsam, honeycomb and poached pear mingle with cocoa powder and subtle woody-balsamic notes. The finish is long and mellow, leaving hints of eucalyptus, lemon zest and toasted oak on the palate.
Finish
An elegant, lingering finish: mellow and refined, with lemon zest and eucalyptus notes that slowly recede into toasted oak, leaving a subtle waxy warmth on the palate.
