A wonderfully creamy and thick 18 year old dram, matured for 15 years in ex bourbon casks before being finished in Oloroso sherry casks.

Color

Chestnutoloroso sherry

Nose

Some oak. More vanilla. Lots of walnuts. Touch of peppermint.

Taste

Fleshier. Good wood-extract and esters. Some peatiness emerging. The whole potpourri of spiciness.

Finish

Firm, dry, rounded. Nutty. Hint of peat.

Comments

A rich, mouth-filling dram that offers surprising length and depth to the finish.

Amber

Nose

Quite a sharp nose, oaky and spicy. Vanilla and citrus fruit after that, adding some sweetness. Quite nutty too, drying and malty. Floral now as well, pastries and sweet goods. Really have to give this a while to breathe.

Taste

Smooth and slightly oily with a gentle sweet, vanilla and spiced taste. Some fruits as well, maybe cinnamon apples or light citrus fruits. Floral as well. Very mild, much more than I would have thought. Also, a very drying effect, like with heavy sherry whiskies.

Finish

Long and smooth. Vanilla, spices and sweet fruits together with drying oak, malt, nuttiness and floral notes. Very enjoyable indeed.

Comments

This is a very well balanced, smooth whisky. But I feel that it has more to offer than what it does. The aftertaste is lovely, the best part of it for me. Really nice, but I feel it could be better.

Fruity and smooth. Responds very well to a couple of drops of water and being left in the glass for a short while before sampling.

Color

Deep copper

Nose

Gentle vanilla notes, grassy (like the meadows on the scottish hills), some cereal notes - weetabix, fruity and perfuming (reduced: more floral notes, light citrus with some flowery notes).

Taste

Slightly sweet, spicy, pungy/stimulating and liquorice wood (reduced: slightly floral with mediterinian spices).

Finish

Dry, warm with some herbal tea.

Comments

It's quite allright this morangie and the longer you leave it in the glass, the more it devellops to a gentle, spiced dram.

Producer`s Tasting Notes

Aroma: The cornucopia
of an autumn harvest festival table describes the overflowing abundance
of arresting aromas that tantalise at the first nose of Glenmorangie 18
Years Old. The rich, resinous quality of nuts cascades into a crisp
toffee sweetness of crème brulée, merging with caressingly smooth,
creamy vanilla. Hints of vibrant oranges & lemons are found. Crunchy
textured walnuts follow, oozing into golden honeycomb that trickles
over sun-ripened sticky dates. Then sparkling floral tones emerge,
taking the edge off any cloying sweetness, with the green, almost herbal
bouquet of geranium, tempered with musky jasmine and the bright, sharp
clarity of narcissus.

With water, 18 Years Old reveals a rich oaken, balsamic character
that yields to soft vanilla. At this moment, the signature Glenmorangie
fruity complex reveals itself in golden apricots and dates mingled with
hazelnuts.

Taste: Glenmorangie 18 Years Old slips like silk over the tongue with
a full, rounded flavour, starting with grapefruit & orange. The
palate is then entranced with an accord of melting honey, creamy malt
and aromatic florals that segue into the warm, syrupy nuttiness of
hazelnuts and walnuts from the Oloroso sherry casks in which the whisky
is matured. Savour the rich, sticky date and fig flavours as they are
heightened by the unexpected caress of woodsmoke.

Finish: Lingering and enticing with the subtle sweetness of dried fruit and the nutty dryness of sherry."
