About this bottle
Glenmorangie's Barrel Select Calvados Cask Finish is a 12 year old single malt from the Glenmorangie Distillery in Scotland, finished in casks that previously held Calvados, the French apple brandy. That finish is the whole point of the release — it layers baked apple and pear onto Glenmorangie's usual soft, honeyed malt, with a light touch of oak running underneath. The finish carries the fruit further than the palate does, tapering off slowly rather than snapping shut. Bottled at 92 proof (46% ABV), it's a heavier pour than the entry-level Original but still gentle enough for someone easing into cask-finished Scotch rather than committing to something smokier.
How to drink Glenmorangie Barrel Select Calvados Cask Finish
Take it neat first — the apple and pear notes are the reason to buy this bottle, and ice will bury them. If you want it colder, one large cube is the limit before the fruit disappears.

Questions about this bottle
How should a cask-finished single malt like this be served?
Neat, in a glass that lets you nose it, is the way to get the most from a Calvados finish — ice will flatten the apple and pear notes the finish is built around.
What is a Calvados cask finish?
Calvados is a French apple brandy, and finishing whisky in casks that previously held it adds baked apple and pear notes on top of the base malt — that's the defining feature of this release.
What's the proof of this release?
It's bottled at 92 proof (46% ABV), a step up from Glenmorangie's entry-level bottlings.
