Tasting Notes

Michael Jackson Nose Very aromatic. Very spicy. Palate Slightly fuller-bodied than the 10 Years Old. Firm, smooth, slippery. Raspberry syrup over vanilla ice cream, eaten on the beach. Finish Creamy and soothing, then salty. Very long. Comment A surprisingly robust expression of Glenmorangie.

Dave Broom Nose Very light and estery: citrus fruits, vanilla, wet grass/gorse, floral, subtle oak tones. Palate Charming, sweet, summery. Lemon, orange, coconut, vanilla, dried apple and beautifully-balanced light oak. Gentle, with stunning balance. Finish Soft, oak, spices. Comment The nose lets it down a little, but what a fantastic palate. The higher alcohol really brings this to life – delicate doesn’t mean one-dimensional.
