Glenmorangie Unveils 25-Year Scotch Finished in Pommard Wine Casks
Glenmorangie, the renowned whisky distillery, has recently introduced a limited-edition 25-year-old scotch whisky that underwent a unique finishing process in Pommard wine casks. This exclusive release, available only at London’s Heathrow Airport, comprises just 1,000 bottles, each priced at approximately $2,650. The whisky, with an alcohol by volume (ABV) of 51.6%, spent a decade maturing in bourbon barrels before a 15-year finish in the distinctive Pommard red wine casks.
Dr. Bill Lumsden, the Director of Whisky Creation at Glenmorangie, expressed his deep appreciation for Burgundian wines from Pommard, which served as the inspiration behind this exceptional release. Lumsden’s experimentation with Pommard wine casks since 2008 culminated in a whisky that boasts a complex flavor profile, featuring notes of lemon sherbet, plums, cherries, honey, red apples, honeydew melon, ginger, and milk chocolate.
This innovative creation reflects Lumsden’s expertise as a whisky connoisseur who draws inspiration from the world of wine to push the boundaries of traditional whisky maturation. The Pommard wine cask finish follows Glenmorangie’s earlier release within the Barrel Select Series, which utilized French Calvados casks for a distinct apple brandy influence.
For whisky enthusiasts seeking a truly unique tasting experience, the Glenmorangie 25-Year Scotch Finished in Pommard Wine Casks represents a rare and exquisite addition to the world of premium spirits.
