Glenmorangie Glenmorangie 16 Year Old - The Vindima

Tonight’s dram takes me (virtually) back to the Highlands of Scotland, to the Glenmorangie distillery, which I haven’t visited for a new release in many moons. The 16-year-old Vindima opens with orange marmalade, cocoa powder, red apples, vanilla, and honeycomb; followed by red chili flakes, hazelnut, candied orange peel, and just a hint of cinnamon stick and clove; finishing with milk chocolate; juicy raisins, sliced almonds, and grape jelly. The thick-clingy legs and light-oily full-mouthfeel deliver a perfectly balanced, silky-smooth finish that begs for another sip.

Drink slow, drink long, drink a variety, drink often
