Glenmorangie Single Malt Scotch Whisky 16 Year Old · 1979 Vintage

Colour

Rich amber-gold with coppery glints and a sunlit honey edge.

Nose

Aromas of bright citrus and delicate honeyed vanilla rise beside rich dried fruit—prune, fig, and raisin—accented by toasted almond and cocoa nib. Sherry influence brings spice (clove, cinnamon) and a whisper of oak and leather, finishing smooth and alluringly warm.

Palate

Silky and medium-bodied, this unfolds with honeyed sweetness and toffee, then layers of dried fruits—raisins and figs—brightened by orange zest. Sherry-tinged spice, almond, cocoa, and a whisper of vanilla drift over creamy oak, finishing long, warm, and gently nutty.

Finish

Long, luxurious finish that lingers with sherried sweetness and resinous warmth. Dried fig and raisin meld with orange zest, almond and a touch of cocoa, while spices—cinnamon and clove—permeate the air. Velvet oak tightens the glow, leaving a refined, mellow aftertaste that invites the next sip.
