Released within Glenmorangie’s Pursuit of Passion Wine Cask Collection, the Corton-Charlemagne Cask Finish explored the long-term influence of Grand Cru white wine casks on single malt whisky. Following initial maturation in ex-bourbon casks, the whisky spent 18 years in Corton-Charlemagne barrels sourced from Burgundy. Bottled at 27 years old, the whisky shows a bright, sharply defined profile, with citrus-led intensity, herbal notes and pronounced oak spice, reflecting both the power of the cask and the length of finishing.

Nose

Lime zest, grapefruit, juniper, floral notes

Palate

Lime zest, grapefruit, botanicals, oak spice

Finish

Citrus peel, oak spice, dried herbs

Bright citrus defines the nose with lime, grapefruit and a lift of juniper and florals. The palate is smooth and syrupy with citrus leading again, backed by subtle botanicals and firm oak. The finish leans spiced and slightly sharp with citrus peel, oak tannin and a hint of green herb.
