About This Whisky
This 27-year-old Highland single malt is the Barbaresco bottle from Glenmorangie's Pursuit of Passion Wine Cask Collection, released in autumn 2024.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Leather, tobacco leaf and cocoa, then plum, blackcurrant, porcini and a cool menthol edge.
- Palate: Firm and savoury, with damson, liquorice, aniseed and cherry, softening into red apple and dark chocolate.
- Finish: Long and drying, with leather, fine Nebbiolo-style tannin and a faint sooty note.
Serving & Food
Give this one space: a large tulip glass at room temperature, poured well ahead of the first sip. Pair it with truffle risotto, braised beef cheek or aged Parmigiano.
Good to Know
How long was the finish? 18 years in Piedmont red wine casks.
How was it sold? As 600 three-bottle sets in a handmade oak marquetry case.
