Glenmorangie 16 Year Old The Vindima Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky 1l

Bursting with sweetness, sizzling spice and rich fruity notes, this whisky is inspired by the island of Madeira s grape harvest festival, known as Vindima . When the island s grapes are ripe, the community unites to handpick the fruit, destined for Madeira wine. Once their work is done, the streets erupt with joyous celebrations.

Aged 16 years, The Vindima marries whisky aged in bourbon casks and whisky finished in Malmsey casks the sweetest style of Madeira. The deep purple tones of its packaging are inspired by the tones of ripened grapes.

Tasting Notes:

Nose: Rich, mellow and honeyed, with soft notes of baked peaches and oranges, cocoa powder, creamy vanilla, along with some beautifully perfumed floral notes such as honeysuckle, jasmine and carnation. A little water opens up a hint of Glenmorangie s signature mandarin orange.

Palate: A viscous, syrupy texture leads into sumptuous flavours of candied orange peel, plump sultanas and milk-chocolate truffles, along with a hint of aniseed, and sizzling spices, like cinnamon, sweet chilli and clove. There are well-structured woody notes, like hazelnut and aromatic woodsmoke.

Finish: Long, with some vinous grapey notes, reminiscent of the Malmsey Madeira casks.

"Matured in a combination of bourbon and madeira casks, the nose has lush layers of fruity sweetness, showing apple, mandarin, apricot syrup, raspberry, and a nip of dried chile flakes, mingled with heady florals and honey aromas. It s complex and spicy on the palate, with chile heat chasing flavors of mandarin, toffee, candied citrus, and choco- late, ending with a mouth-coating finish of red apple, cherryade, and chocolate-dipped gingerbread." - Whisky Advocate (93 Points)
