Glenmorangie 14 Years The Elementa Highland Single Malt [1000ML]

Description

What makes a Highland single malt truly exceptional when it breaks every traditional rule in the book?

Glenmorangie 14 Years The Elementa represents a bold departure from conventional Scotch whisky making, standing as the only Glenmorangie expression entirely finished in new charred American oak casks. This travel retail exclusive showcases the distillery’s mastery of wood finishing, delivering an intensity rarely found in Highland malts. For collectors seeking something beyond the classic Glenmorangie 12 Years Original, this expression offers remarkable complexity that rivals aged expressions like The Dalmore 25 Years.
