Glenmorangie X Single Malt

Brilliant straw/gold colour with water like hue. The 'X' could well stand for 'Glenmorangie Light'. The aromas are fairly reticent and simple, like a young blend or a single grain; cut grass is followed by hints of over-ripe apple, tea biscuits and vanilla malt. Brisk, accessible and grainy at first; the mid palate builds with moderate distillery character, while the finish presents a fresher, fruitier side adding citrus, baked apple and spice. It's very laid back and quaffable stuff...

Here in the far North of Scotland , near the ancient Royal Burgh of Tain, lies Glenmorangie. The Glen of Tranquility where malt whisky has been distilled since before 1700. The water rises in the Tarlogie Springs close to the distillery, and having filtered through lime and sandstone for half a century, is unusually hard and rich in minerals. Glenmorangie's elegant swan-neck stills are the tallest in the Highlands, so only the lightest and purist of vapours can ascend and condense. The whisky is matured in selected casks of American mountain oak which allow the natural flavour of Glenmorangie to develop fully.
