Delicate and spicy with a wonderful amber glow, Glenmorangie Grand Vintage Malt 1998 showcases some of the first Glenmorangie ever to be aged in new charred oak barrels. Ripe pears, plums and baked apples are drizzled with rich toffee sauce. Gentle oak and creamy vanilla, touched by fresh mint leaves and a spiralling scent of incense. Zesty, vibrant fruits pop in the mouth, smoothened by chocolate and soft butter candy, scattered with raisins and figs. Hinted at new charred oak, comes orange chocolate, spiced with clove, ginger, aniseed and sweet chilli. Subtle and mellow. A harmony of sugared almonds, leather and dates.
