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.
Fairly new to the scotch world. Have about 30 bottles and bought the 18 yo of this before buying this bottle. I enjoy it. Many of the same qualities at a third of the price. Drinking side by side to the 18 I can't say you are justified in spending the extra 60$. I am sure some of the nuances of the 18yo are lost on me as I develop a palate. Plan to always have a bottle of this on the shelf. Its amazing to me what a tall still can produce!
Light floral citrus
One of The better Highlands, Wins in The long run. Really well made. But I'm affraid if one compare Scotlands Whiskies to The Japanese Whiskies, few of Scotlands Whiskies Will or would survive.
Very good quality/price ratio
Very smooth, pleasant to taste
