No need to quip, this is a grand Glenmorangie. Not
easily found, I think. And the prices vary from 250 to 350 EUR. That, however,
is overpriced in my opinion.

Nose

This Glenmorangie has a very sweet nose on quince,
oranges and sultanas. Apple cake! Stewed plums and blackberry jam. Acacia
honey. Beeswax. Very aromatic.

Taste

It is nicely oily and soft on the palate. Mildly
spiced. The fruit from the nose is joined by sweet apples and the oranges are
now turned into a marmalade. Fresh figs and a twig of eucalyptus. A bit floral.
Somehow I am reminded of a lady in an orange dress (do not ask me why, maybe it
is the shapely bottle).

Finish

It offers a very long finish with a twist: tannins,
liquorice and something salty.

Nose

Loads of dried and fresh fruits; peaches, apples, pears, oranges. Red roses, cacao powder, pickled ginger. Really amazing.

Taste

It sweet and sour (the ginger note really works well here). It's spicy and very fruity at the same time. Like that Indian dessert..?

Finish

Long, gorgeous, smooth. More fruit again, and less cacao and ginger.

Not a price / value champion, but 43% is not thin, sophisticated and well matured whisky.

Nose

Usual Glenmorangie florality. Mixed fruit basket, milk chocolate, honey and sherry.

Taste

Sophisticated. Black currant, phosphorous sherry, tobacco and milk chocolate. Raspberry jam and prune. Touch of pepper.

Finish

Medium length, fruity, oaky and spicy.

A deep nose and a soft palate, with a dissapointing finish. Compared with the fruity 18 years sherry dominates the 25 years old. It is quite good, but I enjoyed the considerably more affordable 18 years as much.

Nose

Clean laundry (a note I find typical for Glenmorangie,than heavy sherried notes like raisins, bramble, milk chocolate and coffee. I smell gooseberries and liquorice too.

Taste

Velvety soft and creamy with raspberries, blackcurrant and milk chocolate. Also notes of sherry, balsamico and tobacco.

Finish

A bit thin and astringent. Liquorice, vanilla, vague yellow fruits, a bit spicy and a whiff of tobacco.

Quite a pleasant and lovely Glenmorangie, like the 18y old: Quite easy to enjoy. In the long term not very convincing for 25 years.

Concerning price/performance ratio: 5/10

Nose

Gentle Oloroso, sweet fruits (like apples and pears), floral and honey, milk chocolate.

Taste

Sherry, herbs, plums, some Marsala and honey.

Finish

Medium. Fruits and chocolate.

N-
Rounded nature, sweet malt develop into honey and citrus peel, followed
by star anise and soft spices arises. Caramelised banana, milky vanilla
sauce. Elegant wood that sooth the senses, but somehow too gentle for
my personal preference.

P- Crisp, fresh and rounded as derived
on nose. Whiff of refreshing sour fruits, lime-y. Light oily texture
with gentle spiciness.

F- Medium-long, subtly coat of wax, creamy ripe citrus fruits.

— at The Whisky Bar, Kuala Lumpur.

I'm usually not fond of Glenmorangie but this one won me over. Not worth €300 though. Not by a long shot.

Nose

A fine one but a bit shy. Fruitiness: tinned peaches and then something richer, sweeter. Slight turfiness. No smoke.

Taste

Body is light or medium. A little too watery. Slick body with some particulates. A bit of creaminess, and a tannic bite on the gums. Honey, red apple, marmalade. The taste is very even and contains no surprise turns.

Finish

Comparable to HP25 2012: both have this slowly fading finish that isn't entirely perfect because although the aromas are well balanced, it's the kind of whisky you want to be drinking only on good palate days because it might not feel lasting enough to leave a proper impression when you aren't at your best.
