Glenmorangie 10 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 40.00%
8 Slightly sweeter on the nose, and less complex, than the best bottlings I have tasted.
Glenmorangie 10 Years Old
- Scotland - 40.00%
A perfectly sound,easy-going,sweet dram. Not a patch on ‘Original'(which of course is newer).
Glenmorangie 12 Years Old, Millennium Malt
Single Malt - Scotland - 43.00%
8 Very evident first-fill Bourbon character.
Glenmorangie 12 Years Old, Millennium Malt
Single Malt - Scotland - 43.00%
8 The earlier, and less expensive, of two millennium bottlings. In this one, the emphasis is on first-fill bourbon barrels.
Glenmorangie 15 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 43.00%
8 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
Single Malt - Scotland - 40.00%
8 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
Single Malt - Scotland - 43.00%
8 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
Single Malt - Scotland - 43.00%
3 Very juicy wood, but just too much of it?
Glenmorangie 1991, Sauternes Wood Finish
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.00%
7 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
Single Malt - Scotland - 45.00%
8 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
Single Malt - Scotland - 43.00%
8 A confident, handsome whisky.
Glenmorangie 30 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 44.30%
8 Sherry wood is undoubtedly invasive but yet, here's a complex one. To be softened by chocolate pralines or almond biscuits.
Glenmorangie 30 Years Old, Pride 1981
Single Malt - Scotland - 56.70%
8 Odd, askew, individual and marvellous but way too pricey. On liquid alone the score is 9.1
Glenmorangie Artein
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.00%
9 Unlike other double matured samples here this shows integration and is distillate rather than wood driven.
Glenmorangie Artisan
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.00%
8 A malt to make peace with the whole world. Soothing, graceful, satisfying.
Glenmorangie Astar
Single Malt - Scotland - 57.10%
8 A gorgeous,luscious dram. ‘Morangie to the max.
Glenmorangie Burgundy Wood Finish
Single Malt - Scotland - 43.00%
8 Seems simple at first, but then develops stylishly.
Glenmorangie Burr Oak
Single Malt - Scotland - 56.30%
8 A malt disguised in rum! Very surprising but not less exciting for that.
Glenmorangie Cognac Matured
Single Malt - Scotland - 43.00%
7 Crisp, but not as characterful as might be hoped.
Glenmorangie Cote d'or Burgundy Wood Cask
Single Malt - Scotland - 43.00%
7 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
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.00%
8 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 Ealanta 19 Years Old
Single Malt - U.S.A. - 46.00%
8 ?Less complexity on the palate, but the nose can pop round for a visit anytime it likes.
Glenmorangie Finealta
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.00%
8 A clever balancing act here – and it works.
Glenmorangie Fino Sherry Wood Finish
Single Malt - Scotland - 0.00%
8 The light saltiness in a coastal whisky and near-coastal sherry make this a delight.
Glenmorangie La Santa
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.00%
7 Very well integrated. A real improvement.
Glenmorangie Madeira Finish
Single Malt - Scotland - 0.00%
8 The madeira almost overwhelms the whisky, but the Glenmorangie saltiness finally sings.
Glenmorangie Madeira Matured
Single Malt - Scotland - 56.60%
8 One of the most expressive 'Morangies.
Glenmorangie Malaga Wood Finish, 25 Years Old
Single Malt - Scotland - 43.00%
8 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
Single Malt - Scotland - 57.20%
7 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
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.00%
7 This starts so promisingly, but the soapiness knocks it for me.
Glenmorangie Original
Single Malt - Scotland - 43.00%
8 Made when the distillery had its own maltings, and an eloquent advocate for such an arrangement.
Glenmorangie Original
Single Malt - Scotland - 43.00%
8 Illustrates the extra dimension in whiskies when most distilleries did their own malting.
Glenmorangie Original
Single Malt - Scotland - 40.00%
8 A standard malt? This is a very classy dram,so LVMH stop discounting. It only makes you seem like you're
ashamed of it!
Glenmorangie Port Wood Finish
Single Malt - Scotland - 43.00%
8 Do you smoke after sex? No I have a port finish.
Glenmorangie Quarter Century
Single Malt - Scotland - 43.00%
8 Fantastic dram,but why oh why put it in such a horrible bottle?
Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.00%
8 Again a real improvement on the old finish.Light.
Glenmorangie Sherry Finish
Single Malt - Scotland - 43.00%
8 Quite heavily sherried, but the distillery character turns out to be surprisingly resilient.
Glenmorangie Signet
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.00%
8 A bold and some would say a-typical. It works is a valid and successful improvisation on the theme.
Glenmorangie Sonnalta PX
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.00%
8 All very gentle and softly flowing. It just lacks a little grunt.
Glenmorangie Speakeasy
Single Malt - Scotland - 58.40%
7 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
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.00%
8 Perhaps more robust, less elegant, than the previous bottling, but full of flavour and soundly structured.
Glenmorangie The Nectar D'Or
Single Malt - Scotland - 46.00%
8 Long and sweet. Try with soft goat's cheese.
Glenmorangie Three Cask Matured
Single Malt - Scotland - 40.00%
7 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 ...
Glenmorangie Traditional
Single Malt - Scotland - 57.20%
8 A surprisingly robust expression of Glenmorangie.
Glenmorangie Truffle Oak
Single Malt - Scotland - 60.50%
8 A superb fruity expression, with a summery aromatic profile. Water makes it even more sensuous. Definitely morish.
