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.
Nothing special. Probably a beginners scotch. I prefer more smoke. I love Talisker.
A nice 'dram after work' everyday whisky. No harshness, no peat or smoke. Easy to drink and a great starter to recommend to a novice drinker. Quite complex with each sip. Malt and apple on the nose with citrus and some firey zing that gives way to fruity tastes until the cream and toffee finishes the plethora of flavours. No harshness but a lot to enjoy which could easily go down a bit too quick if you don't restrain your sips. Certainly not an Islay so if your one for a smokey kick like Bowmore or Lagavulin then this isn't for you. More of a Glenlivet founders reserve but with more complex quality. Worth a purchase especially at the price for what it is......nice whisky!
A palate of Citrus, Peat & Vanilla notes perfectly balanced. This is an incredible dram at any price but the MSRP makes it a Scotch that’s hard to pass up.
Very nice, unoffensive, light. This is how proper Scotch single malt should taste like, take a note Glenlivet...
Peat and vanilla smoke...but in perfect harmony
