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.
Smooth & delicate.
Nothing lacks this whisky
One of the best single malt
Nothing specially nice about this Glenmorangie. As several have stated already, it is not bad (I certainly wouldn't throw it down the sink), but is too caramel, sweet, cloy and lacking in character. I haven't bought any of the Glenmorangies for many years, but the 10 year old original that I remember was a pale, tangy delecate, mineral whisky that was really nice. Will not buy this one again, but may try some of the other Glenmorangie whiskies.
Good whiskey. I wouldn't take reviews from Americans seriously, they generally don't know what they talking about.
