GLENMORANGIE Astar Highland Malt Whisky 70cl Bottle

Product Information

On the nose: citrus, almost warm lemonade. Custard cream biscuits. Grassy. It needs a lot of time to settle before some rather nice perfumed notes begin to show: jasmine. Rose fragrance, the kind that ladies of a certain age tend to wear. Then a creamy vanilla, lemon curd and custard. Very custardy, in fact, with touches of condensed milk. Taste, neat: As with most cask-strengthers, I take just a teeny sip neat, mainly to get an idea as to how much water to add. A good mouthful usually results in little more than burn and hiccups. This is surprisingly gentle on the arrival, with peppery spices dominating, but the flames start the longer you hold it in your mouth. If that’s the case, there’s no room for experimentation, trials and – let’s be honest – a bit of fun. This will give us some weeks in the summer and winter to just have a play and lay down some exciting new spirit.’ Glenmorangie Astar owes its character to the use of first-fill American oak casks, chosen for the wood’s porous structure (eight to 12 growth rings per inch).
