Glenmorangie Grand Vintage 1996

Pretty bright scotch.

NOSE Honey, dried apples, peaches, pears, malt, graham, vanilla, cereal sweetness and some graham, banana and a light nutty note. Soft but complex, it’s an aroma worth taking your time with. PALATE Graham, dried apples, peaches, pears, honey, nuts, sultanas, vanilla, dried banana and malt with a touch of oak. The golden, honied Sultana sweetness builds over time and a slight earthiness emerges. Tasty. FINISH Med-long -> Orchard and stone fruit fade to cereal grain sweetness and oak.

While the ‘91 version is more in my normal wheelhouse with its plum and chocolate pallet, this one is great with a floral and citrus nose and I also get some brineness. Interesting fudge on pallet and has a medium finish
