Glenmorangie Single Malt Scotch Whisky 17 Year Old · 1979 Vintage

Colour

Deep amber with coppery edges and a warm honey-gold core, touched by mahogany tones.

Nose

Opulent sherried aroma of dried fig and raisin, ripened orange zest and honeyed vanilla. Rich toffee and cocoa glide through polished oak, while nutmeg and clove add warming spice. A dusky, dessert-like nose suggests cherry, almond paste and lingering orchard fruits.

Palate

Silky and full on the palate, with honeyed sweetness and orchard-fruit brightness. Sherry-influenced notes deliver fig, raisin and cocoa, balanced by caramel, almond and a whisper of spice. Creamy vanilla threads through refined oak, yielding a rounded mouthfeel and a long, warming finish of dried fruit, citrus rind and toast.

Finish

Long, refined finish with velvety sherry sweetness, dried fig and orange zest, dark chocolate, toasted almond, and a lingering spice that slowly fades to a warm whisper.
