Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky | 40% ABV | 750 mL

Process & Profile

Glenmorangie Original 12 Year builds on the foundation of the distillery’s classic style. Matured for 12 full years in American white oak ex-bourbon casks, it delivers a smoother, richer expression compared to the original 10 Year release. The longer aging allows more integration of oak, fruit, and vanilla tones, offering balance and elegance.
