Glenmorangie 13 Years Cognac End


This barrel choose Glenmorangie 13 Years Cognac End is not like a lot of the completed whiskies Glenmo places out as a result of it didn’t begin life as the standard Glenmo 10. Surprising I do know, however this whisky solely spent 8 years in ex-Bourbon casks earlier than being transferred to ex-Cognac casks to complete it’s maturation. However not simply any ex-Cognac casks, effectively worn ex-Cognac casks.

Dr. Invoice didn’t need the cognac to overshadow the Glenmo spirit so he used ex-Cognac casks that had been used a number of instances earlier than to age whisky in order that they’d have much less of a dominant affect. Although everyone knows that an excessive amount of use and the casks give little or no. So the place did this land? Just one method to discover out.

Glenmorangie 13 Years Cognac End – General Ideas and Rating

There’s nothing to dislike about it, however it feels a bit off, a bit not proper, a bit incomplete. I don’t know the way higher to explain the oddness that’s this whisky besides that it doesn’t really feel carried out. I additionally don’t get a lot of a cognac observe, it looks as if perhaps the casks have been a bit too drained, a bit too used to impart so little character after spending practically 5 years in them.

I’m extremely completely satisfied to have tried this Glenmorangie 13 Years Cognac End, I’ve been very inquisitive about a cognac completed Glenmo and whereas that is the one one I’ve had up to now, I’m not satisfied they’re a superb match. However then once more, they did purposely use drained casks. I’d love to do this with first and second-fill casks solely and see what it will possibly do to the spirit. If this Glenmo mega vertical has proven us something, it’s that the spirit can simply mesh with greater flavors and are available out superior.

SCORE: 3/5 (above common, value trying out ~ B- | 80-82) – Due to Travis for the pattern.
