Finished in Amontillado Sherry casks, Glenmorangie Tayne honours the local lore of a Spanish galleon’s lost treasures in the depths of the Tayne Firth, and is part of the Travel Retail exclusive Glenmorangie Legends collection.

Glenmorangie Tayne honours the local lore of a Spanish galleon said to have broken from the Armada in 1588 and sailed up the Firth of Tayne – now known as Dornoch – before running aground and being swallowed by the swirling currents, its treasures dragged into the depths where they remain to this day.

Tasting Notes:

Nose: Fragrant and floral, with hints of rose and roasting chestnuts. Lots of toffee/caramel, sweet apricots, and some nuttiness. Further exploration yields muscovado sugar, hints of aromatic coffee and chocolate coated raisins.

Body: A unique harmony of deep, spicy Sherry cask notes, and unusually fragrant, floral topnotes of rose petals and roast chestnuts.

Palate: An oily warming texture leads into rich, sweet flavours of toffee, brown sugar, tropical fruits (peaches, mango and orange) and a gentle nuttiness, like walnut or Brazil nuts.

Finish: A long, spicy finish, with bitter-sweet citrus and dried fruits.

“This dram is reminiscent of ginger snap cookies covered in dark chocolate. Sharp spices have a tinge of citrus peel, almonds (with skin) and toasty oak flavors. The finish hits the mark between dry and sweet.” – Amanda Schuster, Distiller (92 Points)
