Revisiting a pioneering experiment from his early career, our Master Distiller – Dr Bill Lumsden – was keen to explore what would happen to this expression if a portion was finished in Madeira wine casks. The result was spectacular – a single malt that expertly gilds Glenmorangie’s classic fruity tones with heady sweetness and spice. The Altus 25YO showcases our classic house style, with a jewel in its crown.

The journey started with “what if”, as every Glenmorangie creation does. With this mindset, we matured our signature spirit for 25 years in bespoke bourbon casks, made especially for Glenmorangie. The result was worth the wait – a gloriously well-aged whisky, its flavour magnified. Driven to reach even more decadent heights, we then married this whisky with a Madeira wine cask finish, elevating its profile as classic fruity tones meet heady sweetness and spice.

TASTING NOTES
PERFECT SERVE
ORIGIN

Appearance: Bronze Gold

Aroma: Rich and heady, almost decadent, with notes of baking brioche, leesy wine, baked apricot, vanilla pudding, toasted almond and chestnuts and hints of chocolate truffles. With water, there is a burst of candy sweetness, touches of orange syrup, a flinty minerality, and a curious, distinctive herbal top note, like sage or basil

Taste: The texture is unctuous and sticky, but with a balancing lemon zestiness. This leads into rich, sweet flavours of vanilla crème anglaise, baked apricots, warm raisin bread, roasting chestnuts, and a mixture of spices, particularly nutmeg and star anise. The oaky backbone lasts throughout the taste, but is always balanced by sweet, fruity and spicy notes.

The finish is long and lingering, with some lemon rind, baking bread and a touch of honeycomb.
