19 Years Old Glenmorangie, fully matured in virgin American white oak casks with a provenance that stretches all the way to the mountains of Missouri and the Mark Twain National Forest. "On nosing, Glenmorangie Ealanta has a soft toffee and butterscotch aroma, then vanilla and a curious strong hint of stewed fruits with a hallmark Glenmorangie top note of menthol. On the palate, candied orange peel, sugar coated almonds and sweet vanilla are to the fore, wrapped in an unusual nuttiness reminiscent of Brazil nuts in toffee. The finish is very long with virgin oak derived spices such as clove, ginger and a hint of aniseed. Bottled at a strength of 46%, and non chill-filtered for extra texture and mouth feel."

Sweet and creamy, with a burst of chili spices. Some dark chocolate emerges. Delicate, yet lingering. Distilled on 12/07/1993 Cask Number 5113 59.9%abv
