Glenmorangie Highland Single Malt Dr Bill Lumsden X Azuma Makoto 23 year 700 ml

This rare, limited-edition single malt is the result of a unique collaboration between Glenmorangie’s Director of Whisky Creation, Dr. Bill Lumsden, and Japanese botanical artist Azuma Makoto. It features Glenmorangie’s first-ever Chardonnay cask finish, combining traditional bourbon cask maturation with the distinct influence of Meursault Chardonnay casks from Burgundy.

Tasting Notes:
Nose: Rich and fragrant with syrupy fruits like peach, pineapple, damson, and plum, alongside savory notes of burning oak bark, roasting chestnuts, and baking sourdough. Herbal and floral aromas such as incense and orchids emerge with water.
Palate: Sweet and fruity with a waxy mouthfeel, showcasing lemon balsam, honeycomb, poached pears dusted with cocoa powder, and gentle woody or balsamic hints.
Finish: Lingering and mellow, with touches of eucalyptus, lemon, and toasting oak.
