Glenmorangie 12 Year Calvados Cask Finish Single Malt Scotch

A first for Glenmorangie: Highland single malt finished in casks that previously held Calvados du Pays d'Auge for 20 years. Part of the Barrel Select series under Dr. Bill Lumsden's direction, this starts with more than 10 years in American white oak bourbon barrels, then transfers to the Calvados casks where Norman apple brandy character melds with Highland malt. The apple influence is unmistakable—baked apple, pear, jasmine—layered over Glenmorangie's signature vanilla and honey. A Franco-Scottish conversation in a glass.
