Tasted April 7, 2021Nose: Surprising amount of the tokaji finish, which likely adds to the sweet, icing note. Diving deeper, baking spice appears, maybe cinnamon (?). The nose is very well balanced out by an appealing note of white chocolate. Palate: Even more wine influence that highlights lots of fermented fruit which is paired with a very prototypical glenmorangie mouthfeel that finishes off a little thin. Finish: Again, very Glenmo. The white chocolate shows again. Finishes Sweet, too much for me, but I can understand the draw for some people. I've never really been a glenmo fan and this dram unfortunately isn't much different. The nose was really interesting, unfortunately the liquid fell a little short for me.110.0 CAD per BottleWine and Beyond Sage Hill #757 -

Tasted March 22, 2021Nose - cinnamon, nutmeg, pineapple, powdered sugar, cherry, marshmallow, brown sugar, grass, apple, prepared caramel, honey, fresh oak, cereal grain, pear, vanilla frosting, mild to moderate ethanol burn. Taste - spiced honey, pineapple, brown sugar, caramel, creamy vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, black pepper, baked apple, lemon zest, pear, cereal grain, sweet floral notes, sweet wine, barrel spice, mild to moderate alcohol bite, finishing medium length with honey, pineapple, and baking spice flavors. If Glenmorangie was trying to create liquified pineapple upside-down cake, they definitely succeeded. This is a dessert dram to its core. The nose hits with pineapple, honey, strong baking spices, and citrus zest. The palate is similarly sweet and decadent. Again though, there’s some youthful graininess and sourness, which seem to be an unwelcome hallmarks of this series of Glenmorangie expressions. Overall, I like this one better than the other releases I tasted this week, but not enough to raise the score. I’d be interested in tasting a more aged Glenmorangie to see if some of that bright graininess is subdued. Maybe the Glenmorangie profile just isn’t for me. Many thanks to @jonwilkinson7309 for the sample. This concludes my Glenmorangie tasting series. I’m not sure what I’ll be tasting tomorrow, so it’ll be surprise for us all.
