- Nose
- Some oak. More vanilla. Lots of walnuts. Touch of peppermint.
- Palate
- Fleshier. Good wood-extract and esters. Some peatiness emerging. The whole potpourri of spiciness.
- Finish
- Firm, dry, rounded. Nutty. Hint of peat.
- Comment
- 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.

- Nose
- Not as clean as usual. A distant sulphur note where the sherry should be. Sweet and pollen encrusted.
- Palate
- A short, sweet introduction fans out into a mixture of sherry and spice. Levels off with peppery maltiness.
- Finish
- A soft smokiness lingers endlessly as does the chocolate malt.
- Comment
- A rich, mouth-filling dram that offers surprising length and depth to the finish.
