The Original is the flagship single malt Scotch whisky from the Glenmorangie Distillery in the Highlands. Matured in a combination of first-and-second-fill American white oak casks for 10 years, the expression is a benchmark for creamy, approachable single malt. A long-running go-to dram for many whisky enthusiasts (including a few here at MoM Towers), this stuff is superb as an aepritif, though more than suitable for enjoying on a cooler evening.
Very fruity and thick. Rich notes of lemon, nectarine and apple. Spices.
Fresh and balanced, vanilla. Boiled sweets, very creamy, tiramisu, toffee.
Quite long, gentle, malty and very fruity.
Excellent single malt for the price.
Excellent for those (like me) who really don't care for peat.
Very good choice.for the price can't get nothing better.?
I am a bourbon fan. I found whiskey to be too mild for me to enjoy. An associate gave me a sample of this at his home and I was very impressed. The American whiskey I had tried were unremarkable, aged about 2 to 4 years. This has matured for ten years and the time seems to make all the difference. First to hit my taste is pepper, then sweet citrus, vanilla, then a nectar flavor at the finish. I found that a small splash of cool water brings out the finish a bit more. This is odd for me as, again, I typically prefer my bourbon neat. A definite addition to my cabinet. This may become my new standard.
A good choice to begin one's single malt adventure.
