Reviewed September 29, 2022 (edited September 30, 2022)So, i love these vintage Glenmorangies, from the 80s and 90s, and i had one myself, the Madeira wood finish. I had it for a long time till the day i drank it, because whisky is meant to be tasted and enjoyed, not to rest forever in a shelf. Having said that, i went to friend's house where he took this vintage Port Wood finish one; and i got to say i was excited to try it. The main different between port and madeira, is that, even if they both come from Portugal, they come from different zones (Madeira and Porto) where they get their name. Basically, you can say that both are pretty similar fortified wines, with lots of red fruitiness notes in them. This is a 90s bottle, natural color, bottled at 46%abv. On the nose, this is what you expect. Cherries, Tiramisu dessert, typical orange peel from Glenmorangie. "Tres leches" dessert and a light floral note. It has the aroma of coffee with milk. After a first sip, the aroma changed to a red chilli!; Port wine and maple syrup. Hazelnut. Great aroma. On the palate, it starts spicy, with red chilli. Cherries, salt and an unexpexted pepper bomb. Aftertaste is nice. Sawdust, fruit spice and macerated fruits. Overall, this was a beautiful dram that i enjoyed thoroughly. I still think the madeira was a bit better, but this one was truly easy to drink with nice combination of flavors and aromas. My score for this "oldie" is a solid 89 over 100. -

Reviewed February 2, 2022 (edited September 29, 2022)NOSE Coppery complex dark fruit, melon rind, malt, cocoa, vanilla, citrus, dried orchard fruit, touches of oak, cocoa and cinnamon. LOVELY The jump from this to the Quinta Ruban 12 is not far. More like a skip. PALATE Complex dark fruit, malt, leather, cinnamon, vanilla frosting, touches of sulfur, copper and cocoa. Warm and velvety, this is a lovely dram to sip on. FINISH Long -> Raisiny dark fruit, nuts, vanilla taffy, and a touch of oak slowly dissipate with a touch of sulfur. -
