Glenmorangie Corton-Charlemagne Wine Cask Finish 28 Year Old

The only whisky in the trio finished in white wine casks, this spicy, smooth and full-bodied 28-year-old whisky was also distilled in 1995. It was first laid down in bourbon casks, then was transferred Into white Burgundy casks in 2005 – all grand cru status – from the prestigious Corton-Charlemagne appellation in Burgundy, France. This was Glenmorangie’s first experiment with such casks and Dr. Bill was intrigued to see how they would shape its soft, signature style.

Finished for over 18 years in these casks, this expression brims with notes of jasmine, soft smoke and clove.

Glenmorangie’s brilliant master distiller, Dr Bill Lumsden, has two great loves; whisky and wine. Dr Bill’s passion for wine took him on a wondrous journey through the finest wine regions across Europe. From his travels he brought back the best casks from the top producers, building a collection that would make any wine-lover green with envy. For years he has been excited by and experimented with the possibilities of wine and whisky, resulting in great successes for Glenmorangie.

The collection is an ode to our master distiller, Dr Bill Lumsden’s, passion for wine and the wondrous journey he took to create this extraordinary set of whiskies.
