Introducing
Glenmorangie Triple Cask, a new addition
to the Highland distillery's core range.
 Glenmorangie has unveiled a new no age
statement addition to their core range,
Glenmorangie Triple Cask Reserve, and as
you could probably guess from its name
it is a combination of whiskies matured
in three types of casks.
Glenmorangie's whisky makers have
combined bourbon casks and new charred
oak with rye whiskey casks (which is
quite a rarity in the Scotch whisky
world) and they
describe the new expression as being
rich with flavours of pear, candied
orange, honeysuckle, and clove which
certainly makes it sound like a very
pleasant and interesting easy drinker.
Bottled at 40% ABV with a £33 RRP, you
could say it is a new entry level
Glenmorangie and as it will be available
now here in the UK from major
supermarkets such as Sainsbury's and
Tesco I am sure we will see it on offer
from time to time, I wouldn't be
surprised if we see it with £10 off the
RRP at some point just like many of the
whiskies on the supermarket shelves
these days.
Glenmorangie’s Master Blender Gillian
Macdonald said: "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 – seldom used
at Glenmorangie – this whisky brings a
new balance of flavours to our core
range. Inspired by the Highlands’
natural splendour, its luscious aromas
of pear, candied orange peel and
honeysuckle, and tastes of vanilla,
maple syrup and clove, promise to
delight everyone who tries our delicious
single malt."
I haven't tasted the Triple Cask Reserve yet so I cant
comment on its quality but given their
recent track record with entry level drams such
as the
X by
Glenmorangie
which although was
technically made for mixing was a
decent dram on its own so here's hoping
they have turned out a very decent dram at a
decent price with the Triple Cask
Reserve as we could do with more of
them these days.
Initially available in the UK, Germany,
France, the U.S. and South Africa and as I said
above you will now find the
Glenmorangie Triple Cask Reserve in
supermarkets such as Sainsbury's and
Tesco and no doubt it will soon be available from specialist online whisky
shops such as
The Whisky Exchange
and
Master of Malt

Glenmorangie Triple Cask Reserve Review
|
Bottled at 40% ABV.
Producer's
Tasting Notes:
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 some more luscious
sweetness, reminiscent of maple syrup
and crème brulee. With a splash of
water, there is a big burst of creamy
vanilla, white chocolate, pears, melon
and finally some soft, oaky notes.
Taste: The
mouthfeel is creamy and viscous, with a
burst of creme brulée, cherry chocolate,
fudge, tangy orange sherbet, clove,
sweet chilli and some chewy, ripe
tropical fruits. This then leads into
more of the influence from the oak wood,
with maple syrup, almond marzipan and
the gentlest of spices.
Finish: Rich,
sweet, spicy and almost chewy in nature.
