Resin Colored, very full-bodied, brandy-like
Nose: Densely perfumed. Dark flower blossoms, a little citrus. With water some heather and that classic Glenmorangie burst of botanicals. Vanilla extract and amaretto enhanced.
Palate: Fruitcake, rum punch. Currant jelly. Vague smoke, and oak. Oily and mouth-coating. The line to Glenmorangie Original is weak, even with water.
Finish: Peppery, warming. Medium length, and doesn't dry out the palate. Water mellows it out but diminishes its character, so only add a little.
Additional Notes:
- After dinner, with dessert
- Basically this is Glenmorangie with lots of maple, brown sugar, apples & cinnamon, even a little cocoa butter. But it takes water and time to get past these obvious cask influences and get back to its roots
- Lacks in definition and balance, but totally smooth and sweet
- Unremarkable in the finish, sweet and even meaty
