Glenmorangie – 18 Year Old Extremely Rare Azuma Makoto X Limited Edition (2021) (70cl)

This is a limited edition Glenmorangie 18 Year Old, a Highland single malt in a 70cl bottle, created in collaboration with the floral artist Azuma Makoto. He drew on almost 100 different blooms for his work Dancing Flowers of Glenmorangie, inspired by the whisky's bourbon cask softness and hints of Oloroso sherry cask. The nose is rich, rounded and sweet, with dried fruit and floral notes of geranium, jasmine and narcissus. The palate balances honey and malt with tuberose, sweet pea and honeysuckle, then figs and dates, with a hint of wood smoke. The finish is long, with dried fruit sweetness and a subtle, nutty Oloroso dryness.
