Glenmorangie The Altus 25 Year Old: A New Pinnacle of Flavour
Ascend to the height of Highland luxury. Nestor Liquor, your preferred partner for prestige single malts, is honored to present Glenmorangie The Altus 25 Year Old. This exquisite 2025 release marks a new era for the distillery, joining the permanent core range as the crowning jewel alongside The Original and The Infinita.
"Altus" is Latin for "High," a fitting name for a whisky that represents the zenith of Glenmorangie's craftsmanship. Created by Dr. Bill Lumsden, this expression is a 25-year-old masterpiece that answers the question: How complex can a single malt become?
The journey begins in Glenmorangie's famous "giraffe-high" stills, which produce a delicate and fruity spirit. This liquid is then matured for a quarter of a century in bespoke "designer" bourbon casks—crafted from slow-growth American white oak to specific toast and char specifications. To elevate the profile even further, the whisky is married with a parcel finished in rare Malmsey Madeira wine casks, a nod to the distillery’s pioneering Madeira finish from 1995.
Bottled at 43% ABV, The Altus is silky, opulent, and profoundly complex. It is a whisky of incredible patience, offering a sensory experience that even Hollywood royalty has toasted to.
Tasting Notes:
Nose: A fragrant and floral bouquet of carnation, rose, and orange blossom, entwined with rich notes of honey, ripe peach, and vanilla. Hints of almond and nutty toffee provide a warm, grounding depth.
Palate: Luscious, oily, and mouth-coating. A burst of bright fruit—mandarin, apple, and pear—is balanced by the tartness of gooseberry and yellow plum. As it develops, waves of sweet butter candy, marzipan, and icing sugar melt into notes of ripe banana.
Finish: Exceptionally long, harmonious, and elegant. The finish lingers with a sophisticated sweetness and a gentle echo of fruit and oak.
This is the new reference point for aged Glenmorangie. As your trusted retailer, Nestor Liquor is your premier destination for this milestone release. Secure your bottle of Glenmorangie The Altus today and experience the high point of the Highlands.
