White Horse America's Cup Limited Edition Special Blended Scotch Whisky, Scotland glenmorangieWhite Horse America's Cup 1987 Limited Edition Special Blend 40% vol 750 ml Colour: pale gold. Nose: maybe not the depth of earlier versions of White Horse but the peatiness is very obvious, the grassiness as well, and the minerality as well. Mouth: excellent and very, very peaty! Perfect attack, with oranges, honey, soft spices and then a growing peatiness. Was there 1 3 Lagavulin in the mix? Finish: long, peaty and orangey. Comments: Lagavulins

This measured

some leaves

pipe tobacco

because it is the nobler fruit of our earth and isa continual discovery to those who gladly yield tothe emotion of greeting a great wine

thus revealing an extraordinary brandy

easy drinking style of wine with lighter acids and bags of fruit

It comes presented in a rather stylish bottle alongside its original box - a neat little rarity for collectors

clean and very bready

The 1989 edition depicted a Perth Winter Scene

though it's most often simply called Grand Marnier

This dram is ideal for those curious about peat but not ready for Islay’s intensity

and a soft nutty edge from bottle age
