Glenmorangie Grand Vintage 1990

Very impressed with this dram. Notes of honey and vanilla characteristic of Glenmorangie but an understated maturity that comes with sitting in casks for 26 years. Jim Murray gave this a well-deserved massive rating of 94 and I'm sure if you like the 18 and 25 year Glenmorangie you will agree.

$660 a bottle. Supposed to be wonderful

I had a sample of this over the weekend at a friend's place. This is like dating a supermodel, only then to go back to a normal person. Or flying first class on Singapore airlines, only then to fly coach on Spirit airways. Once you have this, how can you simply appreciate the others? This is every sin and vice wrapped up in a fancy bottle, that has aromas of honey and oranges, and an absolutely rich taste of the finest Belgian chocolates coating your mouth. To say this is a really elegant rich whisky is an understatement. Not sure I'd buy one at its current price ( either this or the mortgage...I'm going with the mortgage), but am thankful for the experience.
