A solitary wee Glenmorangie
|
|
Solitary as a result of, we’ll admit it: we haven’t obtained every other Glenmorangie left within the stash that we haven’t already tasted. Or quite, we in all probability do have fairly just a few, however below totally different names — you recognize, ‘Secret Highland’ varieties and that form of factor. No, no Westport both. That stated, this current Glenmo might be fairly emblematic of the occasions we’re residing in…

Glenmorangie 12 yo ‘The Authentic’ (40%, OB, bourbon casks, 1l, +/-2025) 
There was the modest however likeable 10 yr previous ‘The Authentic’, which we final tried in 2023 (WF 81) however it’s since been changed by this 12 yr previous, the home having added two further years of maturation. A refreshing change from the current world pattern of decreasing ages by heading towards NAS territory, you recognize whisky’s manner of doing shrinkflation. Color: gold. Nostril: the 40% do make themselves felt, or quite not felt, for those who see what I imply, however the American oak casks do lend their normal creamy and vanilla-forward contact, alongside ripe apples, banana, delicate oak (with a whisper of contemporary sawdust), and a reasonably outstanding word of Earl Gray tea. Additionally some contemporary barley, which makes the entire thing quite nice. Mouth: we discover the nostril once more on the palate, although it leans a little bit extra in direction of oranges this time, and thus rather less in direction of the remaining. A touch of bitterness follows, then inexperienced tea, a contact of ginseng and a suggestion of peach pores and skin. It’s gentle however not weak. End: a little bit quick, but as soon as once more, truthful sufficient. Inexperienced tea with a drop of honey and a discreet grassy aspect. Feedback: I fairly like this charming little dram, properly put collectively.
SGP:441 – 82 factors. |

So, for as soon as, that’s all for right this moment.
