Glenmorangie 18 Year

This is the first actual 18 year age statement scotch I’ve had. Honestly it was a bit of a let down. There is nothing wrong with this scotch. Absolutely no off flavors or anything that could be considered offensive. However, once that’s out of the way, what you’re left with is something that’s just not all that interesting. Certainly nothing about it screamed “this is a flavor you can only get from an 18 year scotch.” On the palate you’ve got honey and a cereal grain sweetness, a bit of butterscotch, and just some hints of dessert wine fruitiness. Overall, very low key, but tasty either way. Strikes me as a scotch that you buy someone else as a gift, rather than for yourself. The chances of someone finding this unpleasant are very small, but I need some more vibrancy from my whiskey.

Very smooth buttery fruit pie up front, some citrus in the back. Very apple note aroma

Unbelievable! One of the best scotches I’ve ever had. Very much scotch with notes of what reminds me of apple wine.

A homecoming present from my wife post deployment. Nose is great with lemon zest, sweeter citrus, wood, and fruity notes. The palate is along the same lines with some more light vanilla sweetness and depth. The finish is moderate in length but citrus and Sweet. Second visit brought to mind the chocolate oranges you can buy around the holidays. It's so light and friendly that it goes a bit too quick! Great dram but I prefer more complexity for the price.

Personally am not a Sweet & Fruity scotch drinker, hence the lower rating, but admire this bottle’s whiskey sting.
