Glenmorangie 1994 bottled in 2005, an official bottling of 11-year-old maturation. This is a rare sherry single cask for Glenmorangie.
The aroma has good sherry notes with nuances of ripe fruits and dried fruits, coffee, strong woodiness. Additionally, due to its youthfulness, there is also a concentrated grainy sensation.
When drinking, it surprisingly gives a grape juice-like sherry sensation that is pleasant. The balance of intense sweetness and good astringency was very well done.
Despite its youthfulness, this is a well-crafted sherry cask Glenmorangie. It exceeded expectations, making it even more delicious.
Unlike the common sherry notes from the 1990s onwards, which lack sulfuriness but have a slightly woody bitterness, this sherry has an almost authentic nuance, even giving the sensation of grape juice. This was more than impressive, it was moving.
Surely a rare case, but it seems that even in recent years there are sherry casks with nuances closer to the past. An amazing experience.
