- Nose
- Complex and fragrant. Crisp/plain oak, vanilla pod, coconut then comes rose petal, berry fruits, stewed rhubarb, celery and with water roasted nuts,
currant leaf and even a little touch of the farmyard.
- Palate
- Unctuous. Rosehip syrup, little touch of chilli. Concentration and lightly waxy. The perfume nose is paralleled here: ripe fruits, strawberry, patisserie.
- Finish
- Gentle.
- Comment
- A clever balancing act here – and it works.
81
- Nose
- Spirity. A bit sharp at first. Then soy sauce and then big fruit. Lots going on
but a badly tuned radio of a nose – every time you pick up something
good it disappears again.
- Palate
- Golly, another surprise. Rich and sweet, with apricot, berries, dark chocolate and plenty of sweet pepper.
- Finish
- Rich, solid fruity and spicy.
- Comment
- Really? Wouldn't have called that. Those holiday taste buds again. A bit of
a radical departure for Glenmorangie, but an exciting one.
