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.
Taste like a cheap American Bourbon.yuck
This is a very complex Scotch. There are so many different tastes in each sip. I usually sip on Islay Scotch, thus this was a good change in pace.
as a bartender I have had the opportunity to taste test many brands of high end (and low end) scotches. For my tastes, the only scotch that is better is Glenmorangie's 18 year old version which is twice the cost but not twice as good!
I'm a Glenmorangie fan, hands up. When I smell this I get lightly roasted almonds - a sort of smooth, creamy nuttiness with a bit of toasted sweetness. A good example of how ubiquity in whisky (this is so widely available everywhere in the UK in Ireland) does not mean pedestrian quality.
smooth, citrus notes are excellent, better than average peppery finish, a little light, but THE PRICE is a no-brainer..got a 1.75 for $63 USA
