The golden Glenmorangie arouses curiosity, a whisky that has placed the bar high for the competition. Has for at least 10 years aged in American oak from the forests of the Ozark Mountains, Missouri, owned by the distillery itself.

The original expression of our elegant, floral spirit and the real backbone of the Glenmorangie range. A ten-year-old single malt, Glenmorangie Original is produced by marrying the delicate spirit that emerges from Scotland`s tallest stills, with first and second fill American white oak casks.

Color

Pale gold

Nose

A load of aromas coming through here; There's vanilla sweetness, field flowers, big malt, oak, chocolate, fresh young fruit. Great stuff.

Taste

Again the vanilla is the first thing I get. An oaky prickle now, heavy malt, floral notes and now some spice as well. The fruits are juicy and fresh, there's light chocolate again and maybe even a very faint coffee note.

Finish

Medium in length, but enjoyable nonetheless. The malt is the most obvious now, after that comes the vanilla, then the fruits, spices, oak and chocolate. The end is sweet, not bitter.

Comments

A classic in every way, Glenmorangie's standard expression is one to remember.

After 10 years in ex-Bourbon casks, the Glenmorangie spirit has had enough time to mature and mellow into a beautifully balanced yet marvelously complex malt whisky.

Nose

Le nez est assez discret, la vanille ressort avec des agrumes et une touche de miel.

Taste

Très doux et légèrement malté, avec des notes de caramel léger, de vanille, d'oranges confites et de miel.

Moyenne avec des épices douce (gingembre ?) et un peu de fumée

Comments

Single malt jeune et moyennement complexe, il est très agréable à boire en toutes circonstances et possède un bon rapport qualité/prix

Color

Pale gold

Nose

Very distinctive, clean, oaky peatiness. This character is in the background throughout.

Taste

Flowery. Fudgy. Toffeeish. Nutty. Very soft, strained spiciness. Then toasty and peaty.

Finish

Firm, clean (almost crisp), peatiness. Then long, very soft, spicy and remarkably warming.

Glenmorangie`s 10yo sets a high standard for Highland whisky, and has
gone from strength to strength as `The Original` since its slightly
controversial packaging redesign a few years ago. Medium-bodied and
gently warming, with plasant spicy notes.

I like my whisky old and my women young!

Color

Yellow gold

Nose

seems less malty and more floral than the old ten but the basic characteristics are the same.

Taste

And on the palate its similar too, but there is less wood. I wonder if there is a difference in the wood management showing up here. Certainly the malt has more room to work, but it is lighter without the oak spice.

Finish

Now the wood comes through. But it's still slower and lighter than it was in the old expression. There is more space for vanilla notes and the wood somehow seems younger and cleaner and dusted with icing sugar.

Comments

There's no real difference between this and the old ten other than the way in which the oak comes through less strongly here and in the slightly darker colour. I just had a wee swig of the old ten as a control and there is no doubt that it has a lot more wood spice. Is this good or bad? Well it's just different. The new dram is fresher and probably works better on a summer night and not so well in winter. Still good.

It's better to have drunk it all than never to have drunk at all.

Color

Gin clear

Nose

Floral arrival; vanilla fudge; some citrus.

With time (some 15min) - very ripe banana; pear.

Taste

Still very floral as on the nose. Touch of sea salt. Very smooth and silky dram. Unexpectedly, after time, lots of bubblegum (a Turkish one called Turbo, for those who know it, a childhood favourite :). Excellent.

Finish

Short to medium.

Comments

This malt was a very pleasant surprise. Very enjoyable.

entspricht der Nase, leicht scharf (aber immer noch angenehm), hinterlaesst ein wohliges Waermegefuehl im Gaumen

Comments

LVHM verbreitet hier als Massenware einen tollen Whisky, der ueber die Nase, den Taste bis zum Abgang seine Qualitaeten beibehaelt. Tipp: obere Zimmertemperatur oeffnet diesen Tropfen und bringt ihn voll zur Entfaltung!
