Reviewed December 2017Despite the rich, buttery scent this single malt sips relatively dry. Rounded pear and sherry notes lead the palate at first, drying to leather and cigar wrapper and finishing long, with lemon zest and ginger zing. Water brings out more fruit, a tinge of violet, sprinkles of brown sugar and cinnamon sweetness, and a smoky whiff on the finish. Amazing complexity. (KN)

This is part of the distiller’s Extremely Rare range, and has been matured in bourbon casks for 15 years, before a third is transferred to oloroso sherry casks for 3 years. Dried fruits, icing sugar, honey, lemon cheesecake, and floral aromas on the nutty nose. The palate offers figs, crème brûlée, cinnamon, more honey, and citrus fruit. The finish sees citrus fruit and oak merge nicely. (GS, Spring 2019)

If you are a fan of single malt, this whisky should not be overlooked. We tasted this blind at our staff spirits tasting and it impressed me with its sweet and savory nuttiness, rich oily texture and long, polished finish. This is top notch unpeated whisky that will please the connoisseur without alienating the initiated.
Notes
A nearly perfect whisky. Glenmorangie 18 is soft, supple, fruity, nutty and elegant. It's a whiskey beloved by beginners and experts alike and satisfying for the geekiest whisky nerd to dive into. It's recognized around the world and yet a bit of a rarity. Remarkably in today's whisky world, it also remains exceedingly affordable. It also comes in a fancy gift box. There isn't much more you can ask for from a top-tier producer.
