Whiskies from 'Glenmorangie Distillery'

Read the Whisky Magazine tastings notes for whiskies from Glenmorangie Distillery.

• Baillie Nicol Jarvie

Demanding and stern. Take some time to understand it. A complex whisky as it reveals its secrets.

• Baillie Nicol Jarvie 8 Years Old

A pleasant drink with an interesting freshness. Leaves a burning sensation with a spirity feel back in the throat though. No reason to get excited.

• Glenmorangie 10 Years Old

Slightly sweeter on the nose, and less complex, than the best bottlings I have tasted.

• Glenmorangie 12 Years Old, Millennium Malt

Very evident first-fill Bourbon character.

• Glenmorangie 12 Years Old, Millennium Malt

The earlier, and less expensive, of two millennium bottlings. In this one, the emphasis is on first-fill bourbon barrels.

• Glenmorangie 15 Years Old

If you like the classic flavours of the 10 Years Old but find it a bit light, this range-filler is for you.

• Glenmorangie 15 Years Old

If you like the classic flavours of the 10 Years Old but find it a bit light, this range-filler is for you.

• Glenmorangie 18 Years Old

While the middle brother in this range seems best to capture the Glenmorangie house character, this older version is a richer whisky. I could like them equally, according to my mood.

• Glenmorangie 1977

Very juicy wood, but just too much of it?

• Glenmorangie 1991, Sauternes Wood Finish

Not easy to evaluate what sauternes casks have brought in. An extra sweetness maybe but no particular sauternes aromas. Appreciable bottling strength.

• Glenmorangie 1995 Artisan Cask

This is a substantially richer style of Glenmorangie, but not overwhelmingly sweet. The balancing spices and herbs are all present and correct.

• Glenmorangie 25 Years Old

A confident, handsome whisky.

• Glenmorangie 30 Years Old

Sherry wood is undoubtedly invasive but yet, here’s a complex one. To be softened by chocolate pralines or almond biscuits.

• Glenmorangie Artisan

A malt to make peace with the whole world. Soothing, graceful, satisfying.

• Glenmorangie Burgundy Wood Finish

Seems simple at first, but then develops stylishly.

• Glenmorangie Burr Oak

A malt disguised in rum! Very surprising but not less exciting for that.

• Glenmorangie Cognac Matured

Crisp, but not as characterful as might be hoped.

• Glenmorangie Cote d'or Burgundy Wood Cask

A beautifully balanced Highlander. Serious, reliable, pleasantly displaying a good array of flavours. Maybe the wine cask has imparted more intensity.

• Glenmorangie Côte de Beaune

As the glass sits on my desk, aromas and flavours slowly emerge, I like it more and more, but I suspect it will always be overshadowed by last year’s Côte de Nuits.

• Glenmorangie Fino Sherry Wood Finish

A marriage made in heaven.

• Glenmorangie Fino Sherry Wood Finish

The light saltiness in a coastal whisky and near-coastal sherry make this a delight.

• Glenmorangie Madeira Finish

The madeira almost overwhelms the whisky, but the Glenmorangie saltiness finally sings.

• Glenmorangie Madeira Matured

One of the most expressive 'Morangies.

• Glenmorangie Malaga Wood Finish, 25 Years Old

Reminiscent of the port finish but slightly gutsier and less sophisticated. I would love to try it, tapas-style, with Manchego, or perhaps Grazelema, cheese.

• Glenmorangie Manager's Choice Port Wood

Very port-tasting and curiously unrefined. Having robust tastes in food and drink, I loved it. Some might find it lacking in sophistication.

• Glenmorangie Margaux Cask Finish Vintage 1987

This starts so promisingly, but the soapiness knocks it for me.

• Glenmorangie Original

Made when the distillery had its own maltings, and an eloquent advocate for such an arrangement.

• Glenmorangie Original

Illustrates the extra dimension in whiskies when most distilleries did their own malting.

• Glenmorangie Port Wood Finish

Do you smoke after sex? No I have a port finish.

• Glenmorangie Sherry Finish

Quite heavily sherried, but the distillery character turns out to be surprisingly resilient.

• Glenmorangie Speakeasy

A pretty, refreshing malt. The high strength is more noticeable on the nose than on the palate. But it does need water.

• Glenmorangie Tain L'Hermitage

Perhaps more robust, less elegant, than the previous bottling, but full of flavour and soundly structured.

• Glenmorangie Three Cask Matured

A very unusual vatting (bourbon, plain charred oak and Rioja) has produced equally strange flavours. Less oaky vanilla and more Rioja than I would have expected. I like its eccentricity, but it loses points for lack of whisky character.

• Glenmorangie Traditional

A surprisingly robust expression of Glenmorangie.

• Glenmorangie Truffle Oak

A superb fruity expression, with a summery aromatic profile. Water makes it even more sensuous. Definitely morish.
