Glenmorangie, The Altus 25YO

Twenty-five years of patience. Decades of expertise. And one simple question – What if?

Crafted from spirit born in Scotland’s tallest stills, The Altus (Latin for “high”) is matured in Glenmorangie’s bespoke designer bourbon casks before being lifted even further by a sprinkling of whisky finished in Malmsey Madeira wine casks – a nod to the distillery’s groundbreaking 1995 Madeira Wood Finish.

Silky and opulent, The Altus 25 Years Old opens with a fragrant bouquet of carnation, rose, orange blossom and honey, entwined with ripe peach, vanilla, almond and a hint of nutty toffee.

On the palate, layers of mandarin, apple, pear and peach burst forth, balanced by tart gooseberry and yellow plum. Sweet butter-candy tones melt into soft oak accents of marzipan, icing sugar and ripe banana, culminating in a long, harmonious finish that lingers with elegant sweetness.
