New Release: Glenmorangie Official 'Duthac' Legends Collection Series

Glenmorangie GLENMORANGIE OB 'The DUTHAC' LEGENDS 43%
Bottle #グレンモーレンジ(GLENMORANGIE)
There was a hint of the new cask's aroma, giving it a certain elegance. Glenmorangie GLENMORANGIE OB 'The DUTHAC' LEGENDS 43% The nose is elegant, with notes of orange, plum, vanilla, a touch of maltiness, and a rich oak that lingers longer. On the palate, it offers orange and vanilla, plum, sweet notes of marmalade and honey, with a slightly woody bitterness. However, the spicy and rich oak notes remain for a long time. This is a new product from Glenmorangie's Legends Collection Series, labeled as 'Duthac'. As the first release in this series, it was launched as a 1L bottle for duty-free stores. According to the information, the base spirit was finished in bourbon casks, Pedro Ximénez casks, and charred virgin oak casks before being blended. Typically, recent Glenmorangie releases have a vibrant bourbon cask character. However, the plum-like nuances come from the PX casks, while the slightly woody bitterness seems to originate from the virgin oak casks. The rich oak nuances add depth to the flavor. Although I found the woody bitterness slightly off-putting, overall, it seems like a whiskey that many people would enjoy. As this is part of a series, I wonder what the next release will bring? #Glenmorangie (GLENMORANGIE)
