{"product_id":"glenmorangie-18yo","title":"Glenmorangie 18 Year Old","description":"\u003cp\u003eGlenmorangie's stills are the tallest in Scotland — giraffe-necked things that let only the lightest, purest vapours climb over the top. That's the whole idea at Tain: elegance over brawn. The 18 Year Old, sometimes called Extremely Rare, is that house style given proper time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost of the whisky spends its eighteen years in ex-bourbon American oak. A portion is then moved into oloroso sherry casks for the final few years before everything is married back together. A quiet bit of craft that adds depth without smothering Glenmorangie's delicacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe nose is honeyed and floral, with ripe stone fruit, orange and a toasted nuttiness from the sherry side. The palate follows — honey, dried apricot, dates, a wisp of sandalwood and gentle spice. At 43% it's silky and composed. A single drop of water brings out the florals. The finish is long, clean and faintly citrusy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA Highland malt for people who like finesse rather than fireworks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Serve\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNeat in a tulip glass at room temperature. A drop of water lifts the floral, honeyed notes. No ice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere to Drink It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eArtesian at The Langham for something refined. The Connaught Bar in Mayfair. Dukes Bar in St James's, where an elegant malt feels at home.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFood Pairings\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDelicate enough that I'd keep the food gentle. Honey-roasted nuts work well, and so does a plate of smoked salmon or a mild aged cheese that won't bully the florals.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"House of Decant","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49234584273220,"sku":"HO8802CNV","price":134.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0858\/2551\/9940\/files\/004-BSGWS0000-G3M_1_7b0eda1a-924f-4330-9104-5be4362cec77.png?v=1733165346","url":"https:\/\/checkout.houseofdecant.com\/products\/glenmorangie-18yo","provider":"House of Decant","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
