Glenmorangie has existed as a distillery since 1843 when William Matheson bought a licence to make whisky
He did this on the site of a brewery located near the Tarlogie Springs in Ross-shire in the highlands of Scotland.
The 18 Years Old is a single malt Scotch whisky of serious distinction.

Description
Part of Glenmorangie’s Prestige Range, this 18 year old spent its first 15 years in American white oak bourbon casks. After this time, 30% was transferred to Oloroso sherry casks where it spent its final days, as the rest remained in bourbon casks. After 18 years has passed in total, the whisky was reunited and bottled at 43% ABV. A thick, creamy and fruity single malt presented in a wonderfully elegant bottle. It certainly looks prestigious.
The palate is tropical and creamy with nectarines in yoghurt, bush honey, peaches in cream and butterscotch. Ends on tangy oak and grilled grapefruit with plenty of dark sugar caramelised on top. Delicious expression here from Glenmorangie.
