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.
This entry level bottling carries such sophistication and complexity for a spirit driven young malt. I got hold of a 43% abv fortunately and was honestly blown away by what I was tasting at that age and price point.
My favourite of all the 10 year old whiskeys. Smooth but complex taste, easy to drink great on its on, with ice or just a splash of water. A grade all rounder.
good
One of the best I've ever had. Very palatable for people new to drinking single malt scotch.
Same with Jack Daniels, I cannot get my head around why this is so popular. It's not a bad drink but distinctly average. No where near deserving it's popularity. I will be generous and give it 2 1/2.
