Glenmorangie Single Cask #5979 Whisky 15 Year Old · 1990 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with coppery reflections and mahogany-tinged edges.

Nose

Opulent sherried bouquet with dark fruit and spice. Rich fig and raisin mingle with orange zest, honey and vanilla, while toasted almond and cocoa deepen the aroma. Subtle oak lends velvet structure, with a warm, refined sweetness and a whisper of spice that lingers.

Palate

Powerful and lusciously sherried, this single-cask Glenmorangie coats the palate with velvet richness. Dark fruit compote—plum, fig, raisin—molds to a syrupy base of vanilla, toffee and orange zest. Spices rise—cinnamon, clove—alongside toasted oak, while the 57.6% ABV lends a warming, lingering finish that remains elegant and poised.

Finish

Long, luxurious finish with dark fruit, fig and cocoa melding into toffee and orange zest. Warm spice—cinnamon and clove—drifts through, while the sherry influence lingers polished and sweet, leaving a velvety, oak-laced tail that slowly fades with refined warmth.
