Product details
Glenmorangie Year of the Snake 23-Year-Old is a rare and exquisitely crafted single malt whisky, released in an exclusive run of just 888 bottles to honor the Year of the Snake 2025. Distilled in 2001—also a Snake year—this remarkable whisky reflects the wisdom, intelligence, and charm attributed to the zodiac creature. Glenmorangie's expert whisky creators have masterfully united single malt aged entirely in bourbon casks with whisky finished in Amontillado sherry casks, creating a vibrant and aromatic profile. The result is a whisky layered with zesty top notes, deep nutty undertones, and an elegant balance of rich complexity and smooth refinement, much like the serpent’s ability to navigate life with grace and adaptability.
Pouring a deep mustard hue, Glenmorangie Year of the Snake opens with an enticingly rich and rounded aroma—scents of toffee and Brazil nuts entwined with honeyed floral notes and a refreshing zest. The first sip reveals a silky mouthfeel, unveiling bright flavors of lemon blossom and honeycomb, enriched by sherried depths of muscovado sugar, leather, and nuts. A delicate hint of charcoal emerges, accented by warming spices of clove and ginger. The long, gently cooling finish lingers with whispers of menthol and honey, leaving a refined and lasting impression. Best savored neat or with a drop of water, this exceptional whisky pairs beautifully with roasted nuts, aged cheeses, or dark chocolate desserts, enhancing its intricate flavors and celebrating the artistry of Glenmorangie’s craftsmanship.
