Inspired by the natural splendor of the Highlands to create a deep harmony of flavours, our whisky makers have married together three carefully chosen types of casks. Uniting bourbon casks and new charred oak with rye whiskey casks – rarely used in the Scotch whisky industry – this bottling abounds with notes of pear, candied orange, honeysuckle and clove.
“By uniting these three different cask types in Glenmorangie Triple Cask Reserve we have created a deeply harmonious whisky. Using bourbon and new charred oak, we celebrate our whisky’s classic, fruity sweetness. Laced with the savoury notes and subtle spice of rye whiskey casks, this whisky brings a new balance of flavours to our core range.”

Tasting Notes:
- Color: Paprika
- Nose: Luscious and tropical, with a combination of pears,vanilla, candied orange peel, honeysuckle, grapefruit and pear-flavour boiled sweets. Some gentle spices are present, such as cinnamon, clove and nutmeg,followed by more luscious sweetness.
- Palate: The mouthfeel is creamy and viscous, with a burst of creme brulée, cherry chocolate, fudge, tangy orange sherbet, clove, sweet chilli, and tropical fruits. Then comes the influence from the oak wood, with maple syrup, almond marzipan and subtle spices.
- Finish: Rich, sweet, spicy and almost chewy in nature.
