Glenmorangie Port Wood Finish 43% Single Malt Scotch Whisky

From a previous series of Glenmorangie Wood Finish Bottlings now discontinued and  much sought after by collectors


This unique malt whisky was  initially  matured in American oak casks and then  transferred into casks or ‘pipes’ which have previously contained Port for a further period of maturation.

Colour:- Antique copper: golden, but with a rosey hue.

Nose;- With a drop of water, the key aromas are of butterscotch and dark chocolate, but with fresh minty notes and a trace of dryness, like lint.  There is some sandalwood here, and citrus fruit – oranges, perhaps tangerine – even a hint of allspice.  With a little more water, lighter scents begin to emerge: grass and hay, hazelnuts and candied peel.

Taste:- The mouthfeel is voluptuously smooth, like sipping velvet.  The entire palate is engaged – a most interesting and complex balance of sweet and dry flavours.  The bitter chocolate and the fresh mintiness noted as aromas are apparent.  In the satisfying, lingering finish, a hint of port reveals itself for the first time, along with walnuts.

Finish:- A remarkable whisky, perfect after a good meal or to savour at any time.

Stillhouse Distillery and Original Moonshine page added


STILLHOUSE® DISTLLERY
Located in historic Culpeper, Virginia. The Culpeper area was a highly prized position for both Union and Confederate troops during the American Civil War, and witnessed more troop movements than any location in the nation.

On the estate, they grow their own corn, harvest it, store it and grind it to make the corn mash for their whiskey.  In addition to the 120 acres of estate-grown corn, the property also features a private limestone reservoir. The distillery houses the genuine solid copper pot still, which was constructed in 1930, three years before the end of Prohibition


Original MOONSHINE ® Clear Corn Whiskey
Hand-crafted from 100% estate-grown corn and distilled four times in a Prohibition-era copper pot still — in the same authentic tradition that moonshine has been made for hundreds of years.
At 80 proof, the all-natural, gluten-free proprietary recipe is charcoal-filtered for the highest purity, quality and taste.
A truly versatile spirit, shine can be enjoyed neat, on the rocks  and in a wide range of mixed cocktails.
