Glenmorangie The Original
12 Years Old
SMOOTHER, CREAMIER, AND EVEN MORE COMPLEX
Glenmorangie Highland single malt Scott whisky has reimagined Glenmorangie Original to make its smooth, luscious flagship more delicious than ever. The perfect present to delight whisky lovers old and new.
Our signature single malt has been reimagined. Now at 12 years old, The Original is as smooth and as luscious as you knew it before but now even more delicious. It is where all our whisky-making adventures begin and remains at the heart of everything we do. Now letting it age for 12 years in bourbon casks absorbing all manner of delectable flavours. The result is a whisky that welcomes you with a rush of citrus and holds your attention with layers of luscious flavour. At Glenmorangie, we are constantly embarking on new sensory journeys, yet we always come home to Original.
Swirling with creamy vanilla and a rush of citrus, layered with honey and peach, this single malt takes The Original’s kaleidoscope of flavours to new heights of deliciousness. The whisky has been met with delight by the critics, who gave it a coveted gold medal at the prestigious World Whiskies Awards 2024.

Dom Pérignon Vintage 2o15
HARMONY REVEALED
DOM PÉRIGNON IS VINTAGE ONLY
In the darkness of the cellars, inside the bottles, each Vintage goes through a slow transformation in contact with the yeast. It takes no fewer than eight years of elaboration to reach a harmonious dialogue between the character of the year and the signature of Dom Pérignon. The champagne showcases a perfect equilibrium, and all the elements are present with great relevance, revealing the harmony. It is a promise, an invitation to enter the world of Dom Pérignon.
AN UNWAVERING PRESENCE
Born of a year of exceptional contrasts, Dom Pérignon Vintage 2015 stands out with its soothing strength and striking tactile presence during tasting.
COMMITMENT TO VINTAGE
One year, one creation. At Dom Pérignon, each vintage expresses the uniqueness of a single year. But not every year brings forth a vintage. Crafting a Vintage is an act of Creation. Not declaring one is an act of Commitment. Creation has its own rhythm. Some years offer Vintages. Others remain silent, so they can elevate the ones that follow.
FOOD PAIRING
With its precision and vibrancy, Dom Pérignon Vintage 2012 can pair in a fantastic way with the minerality and freshness of seafood. Vintage 2012 can also react with intense culinary sensations, such as spicy dishes, which are an interesting way to let the wine express itself.
Available in November at BCLS for $392.99.
