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.

After many years of enjoying whisky, both blended and malts, it's this one I return to time after time. I am on a limited budget and while occasionally I will treat myself to a more expensive bottle of something different, this is my all time favourite.
Good nose and palate is spoiled by an over spicy finish
I sort of begrudgingly bought a bottle of this the other day and I was more than pleasantly surprised. Well defined and straightforward flavours with an excellent balance. I’ve found myself returning to it instead of other malts in my collection. An absolutely lovely dram of whisky and will always make room for it.
Undeniable quality here, I have tasted lighter whiskies than this, so I wouldn't characterize it as "light". I found that adding water enhanced this; when I nosed it I really got a lot of alcohol and not so many of the notes. I got orange and honey mostly. The finish is very pleasant and refined. A good starter single malt, unspectacular but of high quality.
It feels like a long,long time ago in a galaxy far, far away that I had my first Glenmo as a father’s day present from my son. Still today I believe that it holds up as a great whisky on it’s own, but also as the absolute starting point of a journey into Glenmo’s very diverse portfolio. This is the base juice for their whiskies and it really does define the taste of Glenmo. I have tasted a lot of their juice, and still this one is quite something. Not amazing. Just..........damn good
