Glenmorangie The Original Bourbon Cask 12 year 750 ML

Glenmorangie The Original is the distillery's flagship Highland single malt, matured in ex-bourbon casks sourced mainly from Missouri, the same wood family this bottling draws its character from. Glenmorangie's stills are among the tallest in Scotland, which strips out heavier oils during distillation and leaves a lighter, more delicate spirit for the bourbon oak to work with. Expect honey, vanilla, and citrus up front, a soft floral note through the middle, and a clean, gently oaky finish. It's an easy-drinking Highland malt built for someone who wants Scotch character without heavy peat or sherry weight.

How to drink Glenmorangie Original

Try it on the rocks first — the ice mutes the citrus less than you'd expect and cools it into an easy warm-weather pour. Neat in a glencairn works just as well if you want the honey and floral notes at full strength.
