November's Perfect Serve is Glenmorangie Old Fashioned... Four Ways
The Perfect Serve will titillate your tastebuds with a delicious whisky cocktail featured every month...
A timeless cocktail with a Highland twist! Glenmorangie proves that there's more than one way to enjoy a classic Old Fashioned, with four delicious variations showcasing the distinctive flavours of its single malt whiskies.
From rich honey and citrus to dark chocolate, warming spice and delicate floral notes, discover how your favourite Glenmorangie can transform this much-loved cocktail.
The Old Fashioned is one of the world's best-loved whisky cocktails, celebrated for its simplicity and ability to let the character of the spirit shine through. Traditionally combining whisky, sugar and bitters, it's a classic that lends itself beautifully to experimentation.
With Glenmorangie's diverse range of Highland single malts, there's an Old Fashioned to suit every palate. The rich malt and honeysuckle notes of Triple Cask Reserve create a beautifully rounded serve, while The Original 12 brings gentle oak, citrus and cinnamon to the glass.
For something a little richer, The Lasanta 15 combines dark spice, sherry and chocolatey coffee notes, while The Infinita 18 offers a more delicate take, with tropical flavours, jasmine and orange marmalade.
Whether you prefer yours rich and warming or light and aromatic, these four recipes offer a delicious way to explore Glenmorangie's versatility.
