Glenmorangie A Tale of the Forest

Nose: apple, pear, sandalwood, moss Mouth: orange, spearmint, juniper berries, slight vegetal Finish: nutmeg, touch of smoke, lemon peel

Dark gold color. Quite clear. Floral nose with orange. Light fruity taste. Good Highland whisky.

NOSE Earthy malt, herbal honey, dried fruit, roasted nuts, waxy candy, and a light bit of smoke. The name is perfect, this has a rich earthy and woodsy aroma; it’s wonderful. PALATE Caramel, earthy malt, herbal honey, smoke, vanilla cake, waxy candy, and a light nutty note. Warm and dryly earthy with a light herbal note running through. Again, it’s just wonderful. FINISH Long -> Caramel, earthy malt, smoke, and spice.

Has to have been mismarked. $58 when every place else is selling it for $100? Very interesting. The smoke and wood lingers. Slightly sweet and malty at the start, with a slight citrus flavor.

Somehow Glenmo was able to put the spirit of a forest in a bottle. A light peat in the background made this a pleasant dram for me. On the nose I got aromas of forest rain, wet wood, and fruity notes. The palate was sweet with the part lingering in the background. Overall, a good drink.
