Glenmorangie Malaga Cask Finish 12 Years Old

The Glenmorangie Malaga was aged for 12 years after its distillation on February 18, 2008 (yes, the Moet Hennessy press release actually states the exact date of distillation), starting in ex-bourbon barrels for eight years. For the finishing maturation, Dr. Bill Lumsden, Director of Distilling, Whisky Creation & Whisky Stocks, chose casks that previously contained Malaga Dulce, a Malaga wine with a high residual sugar content. In these ex-Malaga casks, the whisky spent another four years, following the high Glenmorangie standards of extra maturation.
