First released more than 175 years ago by our founders, the original Glenmorangie 10 year old was known for its mellow tones and delicacy of flavour.
All these years later, The Original remains at the heart of everything we do. Like home, we carry with us, no matter how far we travel. And every time we return, we discover something new.
To give Original a delicious, go-anywhere finesse, we make it in our giraffe-high stills, then we age it 10 years in bourbon casks to absorb all manner of delectable flavours.
The result is a smooth whisky which welcomes you with a rush of citrus, then holds your attention with layers of luscious flavour, from orange to honey and creamy vanilla, with bursts of peach.
We are constantly embarking on new sensory journeys, yet we always come home to Original.
On the nose there is roasted marshmallow, almond, red fruits, and a curious, perfumed top note, like Parma violets. There are some classic buttery notes vanilla and fudge, baked apples, gentle fragrant wood smoke and freshly baked bread and beeswax. It has an oily, viscous mouthfeel, gently peppery. The palate continues with more baked apples, fudge, gentle citrus, orange blossom honey, and hints of eucalyptus oil. There is sweet aniseed on the aftertaste, along with some leather and oak.
Note: Glenmorangie has updated their packaging. You may recieve a different label than the one shown.
