Glenmorangie Astar 2017 Edition

Super fruity and I really appreciate the higher ABV

Sweet lemon coconut honey

Second taste edit: peach and stone fruit, minty herbaciousness. Better than I remember, but 4.25 is a good place for it to stay put. The bourbon character is pronounced, and the barley shines. It’s a high proof for Glenmorangie, but they throw a catchable ball, that’s for sure. Peaches and cream are forward, wrapped in a lingering earthiness characteristic of the distillery. Other than that, maybe some light citrus, but not a ton of complexity. It’s a pleasant dram that drinks smoother than the proof and plates its few notes well.
