This pale golden single malt whisky has a rounded nose of biscuit tones, light floral notes and baking bread, alongside hints of vanilla, raisins and mandarin orange. Crisp, citrus textures lead to tastes of butter candy, more creamy vanilla and orange syrup, with yeast in the background, gentle mint and a suggestion of sweet chilli, before a long, earthy finish. Shedding light on an aspect of distilling for so long overlooked, Glenmorangie Allta is a beacon for the future of scotch whisky.
