Glenmorangie Palo Cortado Cask Finish 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky

This deeply sweet and nutty small-batch release is the first Glenmorangie ever to be finished in rare Palo Cortado sherry casks. Aged for 12 years, it brings a new elegance to the Highland Distillerys delicate style. The single malt spent its first eight years mellowing in American white oak bourbon casks. Then, delighted by that whiskys smooth, soft character, Dr Bill was inspired to finish a select batch in Palo Cortado casks, never before used at Glenmorangie. Palo Cortado is the rarest variety of sherry, created purely by chance, when the protective flor yeast does not form on sherry intended to become Amontillado.
