The Glenmorangie The Discovery Set The Original Bourbon Cask Matured W/2 50ml 10 year 750 ml

Glenmorangie The Original is a 10-year-old Highland single malt Scotch matured exclusively in ex-bourbon casks, the foundation expression the rest of the Glenmorangie range builds from. Bourbon cask maturation over a decade gives it a lighter, brighter style than sherry-driven Highland malts, with citrus and orchard fruit up front, vanilla and honey through the middle, and a soft floral note from Glenmorangie's famously tall stills. The finish is clean and moderately long rather than heavy. This particular bottling pairs the 750 ml Original with two 50 ml pours finished in different cask types, a way to taste how far the same base spirit can move once a second cask gets involved.

How to drink Glenmorangie The Original

Neat is the right call to start, in a tulip glass so the citrus and floral notes can lift. A splash of water opens it up further if the alcohol feels sharp at first, and it holds its own in a Rob Roy if you'd rather have it in a cocktail.
