Tasting Notes

Jim Murray

Taster

Nose: Fabulously complex with malt in varying degrees of sweetness and intensity giving an almost three-dimensional feel. Apples and kumquats offer a mixed fruitiness that lightens it a little. The oak offers vanilla and polished leather.

Palate: Big dry oak start which sweetens as the malt gathers pace. Brilliant balance of drier vanilla and sweeter toffee.

Finish: Extremely long and malty with the heavier, silky tones clinging, unusually for a Glenmorangie, to the roof of the mouth. The oak returns to add extra dryness and weight.

Comment: A charming and excellent single malt offering untold complexity in the layers of flavours.

Score: 8

Taster

Nose: Lightly oaky. Sandalwood. Hint of brown sugar.

Palate: Butterscotch, lots of vanilla and honey.

Finish: Light, refreshing. An almost spritzy, crunchy, toasty, dryness.

Comment: Very evident first-fill Bourbon character.
