Product description

Product description
The first Glenmorangie ever to be matured in the rare Palo Cortado sherry casks was bottled as a small-batch release after a maturation period of 12 years. The Single Malt spent the first eight years in an American white oak bourbon cask. Afterwards, the Highlander was refined for four years in Palo Cortado sherry casks. Paolo Cortado is a quite rare sherry variety that is created by chance when flor yeast forms on the sherry that is to develop into amontillado. The sherry is created in contact with flor yeast (biological maturation) as well as with oxygen (oxidative maturation). However, something went wrong during contact with the flor yeast in earlier times, making the style unpredictable and impossible to plan.
