Excerpt: Viscous, mouth-coating, intense, dark fruits, spice, aniseed, and late onset of cloves and blackcurrant cough medicine on the palate. The finish is fruity, long, and herbal.

House Review
Intro:
This is a unique Glenmorangie in that it is a blend of 66% 15yr old Glenmorangie distillate and 33% 21yr old spirit that is then blended and finished in a Super Tuscan wine cask.
Nose:
Sweet salted caramel, bright effervescent fig and currant, light black berry. Some pepper, light pipe tobacco. Sweet plum, vanilla and honey.
Taste:
Thin mouth feel, but no heat. Honey, apricot, apples, pears, musty tobacco. Figs, prune, currant. Some dry raspberry and spice.
Finish:
Short but vibrant. Fruity, musty, lots of tobacco and dusty notes. The apple and berry is unmistakable.
Overall:
This was nice and also dodged the nasty bitterness most Glenmorangie expressions seem to display.
