Glenmorangie pays homage to 175 years of craft with travel retail exclusive set

The new collection from Glenmorangie has been exclusively released this month at DXB (Dubai International Airport). The trio of expressions will be released at Hong Kong International Airport in November and introduced in global travel retail in early 2020.

Glenmorangie said the new range celebrates more than 175 years of craft history at the distillery. The Accord explores the art of marrying casks, The Elementa celebrates wood finishing and The Tribute embraces the peat associated with the whisky brand.

Craft since 1843: The Accord, Tribute and Elementa pay tribute to the distillery’s rich history

Glenmorangie Director of Distilling, Whisky Creation & Whisky Stocks Bill Lumsden said: “We’ve been honing our craft for more than 175 years on our quest to create the most delicious whiskies. I hope travellers enjoy the tastes of these single malts, which shine a light on our expertise in cask marrying and wood finishing, as well as our heritage style of spirit.”

Tasting notes

The Accord: A nose of raisins and treacle gives way to a thick taste of sugar-coated plums and almonds before a woody and leathery finish with gentle spices.

The Elementa: Features a nose of spicy toffee, fresh grass and vanilla before a spicy taste and finish with a hint of cumin.

The Tribute: A nose of fresh flowers and subtle smoke leads into a smooth texture of smoked vanilla and a lightly peated finish.
