Official Tasting Note:

The one with 54.5% vol. Bottled and Peated to 40ppm Port Charlotte OMC:01 2013 was first aged in Bourbon casks for four years before being transferred to Pomerol casks for the final five years of its aging.

Aroma: Warm peat smoke and red fruits, pear, melon and a subtle maritime nuance. Delicate rose and geranium notes. Vanilla, honey, leather and toasted oak. Over time, the PMC:01 smells of cloves and ginger with a wonderful hint of marzipan.

Flavour: Malt sugar and peat smoke. Great viscosity that fills the entire mouth. The Pomerol cask brings out aromas reminiscent of blackberries, plums and aged leather - the perfect balance between wood and fruit.

Finish: Soft, maritime notes, mussels, some citrus zest and that typically elegant, demanding peat smoke that you can only find in a Port Charlotte.

Nose: The sweetness of caramel is immediately apparent on the nose, followed by a blend of fresh fruit and a subtle hint of peat smoke. Notes of strawberries, red apples, apricot jam and mixed berries from the Syrah casks come to the fore, underpinned by a combination of oak and lingering smoke. Gentle spices from the oak together with ginger, marzipan and honey complement the fruity character, which is further enhanced by the oak smoked over the fire.

Flavour: Toasted oak and elegant barbecue smoke envelop the palate, beautifully balanced with sweet fruit. Vibrant notes of candied peel, fresh mango, brown sugar and sweet chewing gum add lightness and complexity that cut through the smoke. A drop of water brings out the aromatic oak, while lavender and herbal notes combine with gentle honey, ground ginger and roasted coffee beans.

Finish: While the sweetness of fruit and oak remains, a gentle wave of peat smoke is unmistakable on the finish. Roasted Brazil nuts, coconut and cocoa powder lend a delicate creaminess, while a hint of dried seaweed lingers.

UNIQUE CASK HISTORY
Cask No. 0009 captivated Dr Bill Lumsden as it matured in the cool, calm surroundings of Warehouse 32. This rare cask gives Glenmorangie a toasty and tropical twist.
The spirit was distilled on Tuesday 6th July 1999, under the watchful eye of Graham Eunson, then Glenmorangie's experienced Distillery Manager. Then it was laid down in a secret selection of casks, known only to Dr Bill and his trusted team. Some 17 years later, Dr Bill was delighted by the whisky's singular character. And inspired to enhance it still further, he transferred the whisky into a first-fill American oak bourbon cask which would highlight Glenmorangie's classic notes. Finished in this way for a further four years, Cask No. 0009 reveals a unique complexity, layering Glenmorangie's hallmark creamy, fruity taste with spice and tropical sweetness.

DR BILL'S PERSONAL TASTING NOTES
COLOUR: Gold.
AROMA: Sweet and fruity, with mandarin orange, peach and nectarine. Rum and-raisin ice-cream soon emerges alongside sandalwood and cedar, laced with vanilla and crème caramel. A little water opens up notes of mango and lychee.
TASTE: First comes a burst of passion fruit and peach sprinkled with demerara sugar. Toasted caramel follows on with cinnamon and ginger. Finally crystallized ginger, toasted almond and orange unite in a gloriously long finish.
