Taste note

  • Colour:

    Ruby

  • Nose:

    Sweet and malty, with hints of sun-ripened figs, dark chocolate, and yellow raisins.

  • Palate:

    The Sonnalta is heavy on the palate. It starts with the forward fruit flavors, raisins, as well as plum and over-ripe cherry. You can taste that higher ABV. in the back of the palate some spices and chocolate.

  • Finish:

    Medium to long finish, and a mouthful PX sherry, raisins and spiciness. The Pedro Ximenez seems to linger in the finish.

  • Conclusion:

    The Glenmorangie Sonnalta PX Single Malt Scotch Whisky is aged for ten years in American white oak ex-bourbon casks, and then is transferred for an additional two years in Pedro Ximénez ex-sherry casks, totaling for an age statement of 12 years. The whisky weighs in at 46% ABV, this extra alcohol strength makes it just that much better and the PX gives it a great mouthfeel and body.
