Wonderful packaging, fantastic drinkability, but sadly it doesn't live up to it's name. Instead of "sweet things" what I could discern from this was essentially standard Glenmorangie 10 with a charred wine-cask finish (yes, I know that's exactly what it is, but what I'm saying is there aren't any unique flavors that I haven't tasted elsewhere in other wine-cask finished drams like Jefferson's Cabernet cask). I suppose it may have just been the re-charring of those oak barrels, but the aftertaste of wine is all but canceled out by oak and perhaps just a hint of vanilla. There's absolutely nothing bad about this whiskey, but it's not different enough from the original Glenmorangie to really sell me on it.
