Glenmorangie – A Midwinter Night’s Dram 2015 (70cl, 43%)

Glenmorangie – A Midwinter Night’s Dram 2015 is a whisky from Glenmorangie (Highland). Bottled at 43% ABV, 70cl. One of the most recognisable names in Scotch whisky, Glenmorangie were quick out the gates to advertise and promote their Single Malt to a global audience as early as the 1960s. While this undoubtedly played a part in the rather sizeable market share they enjoy today, some credit has to be given to the whisky itself. Their famous stills stand as tall as a fully grown adult giraffe, and as well as giving them ultimate Top Trumps bragging rights, this has the benefit of producing a smoother and more delicate spirit. Pioneers of cask finishes, the distillery has never shied away from experimentation, and under the guiding hand of Maestro Dr Bill Lumsden they continue to release a variety of expressions to keep “The Sixteen Men of Tain” rushed off their feet. The Midwinter’s Dram is a limited edition UK exclusive, matured in American White Oak and then finished in the same Oloroso Sherry casks used for their excellent Lasanta expression.
