Taster

Nose: Fresh. Sea air.

Palate: Smooth, sweet, slightly syrupy. Lovely balance of sweet creaminess and herbal notes.

Finish: Appetisingly spicy. Clean hit of salt.

Comment: If you like the classic flavours of the 10 Years Old but find it a bit light, this range-filler is for you.

Score: 8

Taster

Nose: Fruitier with dense grapey tones: malty yet nothing like as complex as the 10 Years Old.

Palate: A silky feel followed by a delicious explosion of peppery notes around the palate. Clean fruit, including the juiciest of plums, balance nicely.

Finish: Remains warm and lingering with more emphasis on simple vanilla and malt.

Comment: Rich by Glenmorangie standards and very warming.

Score: 8.3
