Glenmorangie: Which Bottle Should You Buy?

The best Glenmorangie bottle for most buyers is Glenmorangie The Original 12 Years Old. It is smooth, approachable and giftable, with the citrus, vanilla, honey and peach profile that makes Glenmorangie a classic Highland-style single malt. Glenmorangie says The Original has been reimagined as a 12-year-old expression matured in bourbon casks, with citrus, vanilla, honey and peach notes.

For more richness, choose Glenmorangie 14 Year Quinta Ruban. It ages in bourbon and port casks, giving it a deeper chocolate, mint and dark-fruit style compared with the 12 year.
