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.
Ever since encountering this pleasant whisky in Edinburgh it has become my favourite brand.Very fruity and a hint of spicy.For those of you who like a full bodied peat and smokey whiskey may I suggest a Talisker.For those who like a nice smooth wee nip this could be for you.
i agree with the inestimable Ralfy: Glenmorangie is one of the three or four most interesting, complex malts out there (the other being mentioned was Pultney). Many new to scotch come from bourbon or are peat heads, only able to appreciate explosive whiskies. They miss the subtle ever changing quality of a malt like Glenmorangie. Bill Lumsden is the greatest artist in whisky today.
very nice taste, extremely smooth. the notes of vanilla make it taste almost bourbon-like (which I don't mind at all). If you like smokey, peaty whisky, stay away from this though. It's much more of a lighter, clearer flavor.
This malt is amazing. Very smooth.
I cannot for the life of me taste any dish soap. I find it quite good. A touch light but not in a negative way for my tastes. Perhaps rinse the glasses better?
