Tastes

Nose: Smelled this on a cold night, in a whiskey glass. Sherry notes, color was amber. 6 (1-5) Front: light and crisp, 6 Middle: full refreshing and the best of sherry notes. Spiced and sweet not peat since it's meant to be paired with a cigar. Back: clean finishes with sherried. Sweet and smooth 9.

Nose: 6, 1-10 spicy, malt, hints of chocolate or cocoa. Interesting enough to get a 6. Color: rose gold Taste: 7, 1-10 medium modied, you pick up on different notes each sip but lacks that final punch to round it off. It builds in flavor from the front of the palate to the finish. Signature Speyside tastes, with some peppery or spicey additions. Not a lot, but enough to let you know it's been seasoned. Overall an enjoyable Scotch that I enjoy at this price point. Finish: 6, 1-10 Overall Score: 6 or 7, depends on the day on a 1-10. I enjoy this scotch. It's a scotch currently in my bar. Good one to share, and also enjoy slowly solo after a long day, or just cause :). I am excited to try other Glenmorangie drams.

Taste: a sweet alternative to the traditional Islay. If you read the label it literally says " fresh styled, lighter bodied" Islay. Couldn't agree more. For Sherry lovers looking to explore peat, I would recommend this scotch. Nose: inviting light smoke with Carmel notes. Color: light gold Finish: 7, very inviting Islay. Score: 7 on a 1-10. Above avg

Taste: Full complex top shelf scotch. Everything you'd hope and expect from a 21 year. The box it came in was unbelievable. Rich and full scotch, plenty of toffee and vanilla flavors stand out. A bit of banana but incredibly smooth. Would not recommend a cigar with this, you need to enjoy every sip. Had this as a parting gift from a friend that was moving out of the country. Nose: Fruity, complex, inviting and sherried. Color: close to rose gold Finish: 9, amazing scotch finish. Really builds and leaves a smooth, velvety and creamy finish. Can almost be dessert. Score: 10 on a 1-10. A huge treat.

Taste: smooth start that really opens up with it's complexity in the middle of the palate. Medicinal, iodine taste. I must mention I'm partial to the Ardbeg Uigeadail which is my favorite peated scotch I've had thus far. Nose: Old wood, some coal gas. Simile to the smell you get when you're starting a charcoal grill with some lighter fluid. Definitely inviting for peat scotches. Lives up to the name Color: Deep amber, honey. Finish: long finish leaving a pleasant buzz on your lips which is signature of Islay Scotches. Well respected scotch but personally not my favorite. Would never pass if someone offered it to me. Score: 7 on a 1-10. Above average, a cut above most.

Taste: Fruity, some light fruit taste, maybe grapes or plums but a subtle fruit flavor. Not a bold flavor of fruit. Easy to drink. Medium bodied. Not a lot to it but an easy, medium bodied scotch which tries to have character. Initial taste is good but falls off. Nose: Sulphur, rubbery Color: very light for scotch, yellow gold. Finish: Inviting to drink again but not a long finish. Lacks in the finish, but generally pleasant. Score: 5 on a 1-10. Enjoyable, not a select scotch but wouldn't complain if it was on happy hour.

Taste: very thin, almost taste like I've already added water but true to it's Speyside taste. Light hints of Sherry and Carmel. I do need to note the bottle I had was 2+ years. I'd say a good "starter" scotch for those that want a single malt scotch. Easy on the palate and you can chat about. Nose: Sherry, Carmel, fruitt Color: very light for scotch, Finish: refreshing, light. Good to encourage another sip Score: 1-10, 5. It's fine, not great, definitely not bad

Nose: distinct grainy smell that whisky gives, but good notes of cocoa and butter Palate: Full bodied on the palate, malt flavor stands out. Somewhat one dimensional but a full flavored smooth finish with an appropriate hint of coffee that's not overpowering. Did not add water as drinking it neat is perfect Finish:. Leaves a pleasant lingering coffee aftertaste, great whisky for the price and consistently find myself wanting more.
