Glenmorangie 10 year 

Highland Single Malt

A very subtle and elegant dram that seems more mature then its 10 years. At times, I can’t keep up this all of the specialty wood finishes from Glenmorangie. They were the pioneers in the process and helped start the current wood finish craze. I always found their whisky didn’t need any ‘dressing up’ and prefer their traditional American Oak matured expressions. This ten year old is a light, flavorful treat that’s an everyday type of whisky. Has some depth to compliment its light character with a nice bite in the finish to remind you that it still has some Highland attitude. Well put together.

Nose: Subtle, floral, malty, oak, fresh and clean
Body: Light and warming
Finish: Long and drying, some nice bite that sticks to your tongue

A Highland beauty!
