Glenmorangie 1981 - Sauternes Wood Finish
Glenmorangie
Tasting Notes
Glenmorangie's 1981 Sauternes Wood Finish is a true delight for the senses. Imagine stepping into a cozy bakery, where the aroma of freshly baked treats envelops you. This whisky's nose is a heavenly blend of creamy sweetness, reminiscent of delectable berry jams, custard, and warm apple strudel, all intertwined with generous notes of vanilla. As you take a sip, the flavors unfold like a symphony, with caramelized bananas, zesty orange marmalade, and melted vanilla ice cream dancing on your palate, accompanied by hints of brandy, prunes, and dates. The finish is a delightful crescendo of sparkling spicy oak, lingering banana, and vanilla notes, leaving you craving for another taste. Aged for 21 years, with the final two spent in premier cru Chateau d'Yquem casks, this whisky is a true masterpiece, with only 4,000 individually numbered bottles in existence.
