Glenmorangie The Altus 25 Year Old Single Malt Whisky

The Altus 25 Year Old Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky from Glenmorangie distillery, ‘A Symphony of Fruit, Cream, and Time’.
Crafted from spirit born in Scotland’s tallest stills, The Altus (Latin for “high”) is matured in Glenmorangie’s bespoke designer bourbon casks before being lifted even further by a sprinkling of whisky finished in Malmsey Madeira wine casks.
During the filming of Once Upon a Time in Scotland, Harrison Ford became one of the first to taste The Altus. His quiet nod of approval – and a heartfelt toast to “the good people of Glenmorangie” – said it all. Glenmorangie

    Nose:    Carnation, rose, orange blossom, and honey, wrapped around peach, vanilla, almond, and nutty toffee.

    Taste:    Silky layers of mandarin, apple, pear, and peach give way to tart gooseberry, yellow plum, and butter-candy sweetness.

    Finish:    Long, harmonious, and elegantly sweet.

Crafting Single Malt Whisky since 1843, when farmer William Matheson and his wife Anne followed their dreams and founded the Glenmorangie Distillery. Despite being owned by blenders, MacDonald & Muir, for most of the 20th century, Glenmorangie had an early focus on bottling its single malt. This became the distillery's main output in 1959, and with the unique flavours derived from Scotland's smallest stills, coupled with their pioneering use of wood finishing, Glenmorangie is now one of the world's biggest selling malts. As a result, the distillery portfolio over the years has been extensive, and little has been spared for independent bottlers.
