Glenmorangie
Scotland
Single Malt
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.
I am no great whisky connoisseur but I know a good spirit and this one is not. Based on the favourable reviews, I was expecting whisky as it should be - smooth with complex flavours and good body. Glenmorangie fails on all counts. It's unpleasantly sharp like cheap alcohol, very light bodied to the point of tasting thin and regarding complex flavours well forget about it - even if they are there, they are beaten by the sharpness of it. Good spirit should never burn in your mouth and throat and this one does. I paid 26 pounds for it on a special offer and it's not worth even that. I will use it for eggnog and for Christmas pudding as I don't find it good enough to drink neat, and will never buy another bottle again. If you want a good bottle for around 30-40pounds, I totally advise Highland Harvest which is really nice, but again, even Famous Grouse is far better than Glenmorangie. I am annoyed that I bought it, this bottle is both first and definitely the last one, never again.
I am no novice to the scotch world but no expert either. I got the Glenmorangie for a deal at $30 and some change. I have been on a Laphroaig 10 kick as my go to for a little while and decided to give this 10 a try. My initial assessment was disappointment but then I decided to assess it without comparing. I am glad I did because my stubbornness would have kept me from enjoying a really good scotch. I do put some cool water in it to get it down to around 38% from 43% and that also opens it up a bit. I would definitely buy this again even at a regular price.
I snapped a bottle at a terrific price just for the sake of it, and approached it with an open mind. I'm more into wood, peat and smoke when I peak consiously, but I have to say this one was a very nice surprise: pale, light, sweet yet complex, direct, and refreshing. Awesome stuff. This one and Lasanta are at the top of my list for a daily whisky.
Good value for money.
Umm ... for $40 maybe decent. Certainly not hard to drink. Reminds me of Tomatin's 12 year for same price or perhaps a bit less. Slight taste of grain alcohol. Overall, I like the stuff. But a lot of strong competition in that price range.
