Glenmorangie - 20 February 2009 - 7pm GMT

[Spirit of Islay]

Not a finish rich , Matured !

[Ganga]

Hmm. An interesting thought. Would the sauternes work for that long a period with Ardbeg?

[Spirit of Islay]

ok Ordered another 125.18 and Mel came in later , tried it (blind) went "Hmmm Glenmorangie , Terrys Chocolate Orange , you need to order some more of that , it's really good....." , that's my Gal !

[Ganga]

G, it's good to have one that supports your enthusiasm. Problem is what it does to stocks.

[Willie JJ]

It depletes stocks Rich, but it increases buying power.

[Spirit of Islay]

Luckily Rich she prefers white wine.....

[Ganga]

It depletes stocks Rich, but it increases buying power.

The true definition of mixed emotions.

[Spirit of Islay]

But i agree she does share my enthusiasm for , Whisky , Islay , it's distilleries and particularly Ardbeg , she loves the place .

[Mr Fjeld]

You guys are obviously having a nice time - I'm out of Glenmoringie but taste the Signet and Astar at recent whisky festival and they were among the highlights of the festival. Enjoy!

[Willie JJ]

He's got some visitors Nick. Hopefully he'll be back later.

[Willie JJ]

Hey Christian. Just join in with whatever you have. It'll be just like it used to be.

[Spirit of Islay]

Come over to the chatroom Nick , there's a few of us in there

[Ganga]

I'll stick around this evening for him. At worst, I get a second shot at the Glenmos.

[Ganga]

Evening Christian. (This from the man where it's the middle of the afternoon)

[Mr Fjeld]

Hi guys, I'm actually going to sleep. Been a pretty exhaustive day so far but I might just join in the next time

[Ras Mazunga]

Good night Christian, see you next time.

[Ganga]

Good night Christian. Hopefully we'll get you with the next one.

[I_SPEY]

Hi guys, nice to see you're all having a great time! I'll take a Glenmo NdO, ok?

[Ras Mazunga]

Hi Rene, good to have you around.

[Willie JJ]

Ok I've rested my palate by washing it a couple of times with the new 10yo. Lets have a go at the Nectar D'Or

[Willie JJ]

Night Christian and Hi René.

[I_SPEY]

Hi Rene, good to have you around.

Thanks Ras. As said before, nice to see you all

[I_SPEY]

Hi Willie

[Ganga]

Good evening Rene. Still light out here.

[I_SPEY]

I've only the Glenmo NdO, which I think is nice, but what I've read here(and I already knew it before) I'm going for the Astar(or Signet?)

[I_SPEY]

Good evening Rene. Still light out here.

I believe you, Richard!! It's quite Dark here.

So, it's time. Night, night.

[Ras Mazunga]

Still drinking Lasanta, still not bored of it. The Oloroso influence is great, nice chocolate and nuts.

[Ganga]

Me thinks it is time to start afresh with my two Glenmos in brandy glasses.

Good night Nick. Sleep well.

[Willie JJ]

Expression - Glenmorangie - Nectar D'Or
ABV - 46%
Colour - Deep gold
Nose - Very sweet. The malt is there, but it is enveloped in soft white fruits, again dusted with icing sugar. Is that Glenmo, or is it just me tonight?
Palate - great interplay between the malt, vanilla and some sweet and sourish fruits.
Finish - Long, gentle and mouth-watering. Like sucking some kind of alcaholic barley sugar. Just brilliant.
Comments - Very sweet, but if you have no issues with that, this is a great dram. Another cracker for the drinks cabinet.

[Willie JJ]

Night Nick

Would like to add that the last bit out of the glass came strongly on with some ground black pepper mixed with the sweetness.

Well, I'm going to hit the hay too I think, thanks for the notes guys and gals.

Good night.

Good night Kyorke. I will be around for a while for any late comers...ok, US folk.
