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.

If you're looking for something that's not going to disappoint this is it. It's a great well rounded scotch, smooth and with enough complexity to satisfy the more sophisticated. As far as age goes you'd think the 10 is a typo, it's better than a lot of 12 and 15 year old whiskeys.
Primarily citrus, slightly peachy aroma, very pleasant; vanilla on the palate initially, then fruit flavours with a tiny hint of spice. Very, very smooth (perhaps more so than Glenfiddich 12). Slight finish of peach. Verdict: A classic, great for beginners and seasoned drinkers alike. It's not complex, but quite pleasant and far from boring. This is not the best, but it's damn close and well worth the money.
Heavy fruit on the nose. Smooth and thick on the palate. Long smooth vanilla and fruit aftertaste. It's a good as it ever was. One of the up front single malts in the liquor cabinet
Very nice creamy good mouth feel nice finish
I don't think I have ever reviewed this particular whisky even though this is actually where my obsession with the stuff began! This is the very first single malt I ever bought and I loved it. Not fruity like Glenlivet and Fiddich 12 yrs more honey , vanilla, oak, even slightly floral. One of the best( if not the best) examples of the Highland style and considering this is their entry level just shows you how great Glenmorangie really is. Always welcome in my collection.
