Glenmorangie Offers Calvados Cask-Finished Whisky In The UK
Highland distillery Glenmorangie has released whisky finished in Calvados casks – the distillery’s first-ever release with Calvados cask finishing – but, alas, the whisky will only be available in the UK. Glenmorangie 12-Year-Old Calvados Cask Finish is part of the distillery’s Barrel Select Release series of small-batch single malts.
Glenmorangie’s 12-Year-Old Calvados Cask Finish was matured for more than 10 years in American white oak bourbon casks before being transferred for the remaining aging process to casks that previously held Calvados du Pays d’Auge from Normandy, bottled at 46% alcohol by volume [92 proof] and is said to offer notes of almond, apple, jasmine, pear, star anise and vanilla.
Glenmorangie 12-Year-Old Calvados Cask Finish is being made available for $95 per bottle exclusively in the UK.
