\nThe 12-year-old expression will replace The Original 10-year-old signature single malt, which was introduced in the 1960s with roots going back more than 175 years.<\/strong><\/p>\n
After conducting experiments, the Glenmorangie whisky creation team, led by Dr Bill Lumsden, determined that the two additional years led to a \u2018silkier and creamier\u2019 flavour profile with a \u2018swirling kaleidoscope of taste\u2019 compared with the 10-year-old.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn 1984, when I was studying in Edinburgh for my PhD, I tasted single malt Scotch whisky for the very first time,\u201d<\/em> reminisced Dr Lumsden, director of whisky creation at Glenmorangie. \u201cThat whisky was Glenmorangie. I\u2019ll never forget my first magical sip and how I became beguiled by its complex range of flavours.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cDuring my many years at Glenmorangie, I have always aimed to keep the whisky true to my memory of that first taste. However, my team and I recently started to wonder whether we could reimagine our flagship expression, The Original, for even more deliciousness.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cThe result is The Original 12 Years Old. Smoother, creamier and even more complex \u2013 I like to think it \u2018turns up the volume\u2019 on our signature whisky\u2019s classic notes of orange, vanilla, peach and honey.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n THE TASTING NOTES<\/strong><\/p>\n COLOUR AROMA TASTE FINISH
\nBright Gold<\/p>\n
\nCitrus and ripening peaches are balanced by vanilla softness.<\/p>\n
\nVanilla emerges, then gives way to a burst of flowery fruitiness.<\/p>\n
\nThe surprisingly lingering aftertaste, is bursting with almond, coconut, and a touch of maple syrup. Truly delicious!<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.dutyfreehunter.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Glenmorangie_OG12_packshot.jpg\")
