It happens to be a slight disappointment due to the rather high expectations towards it.
The colour is old dusty gold.
The nose is a bit spiritous at first but after a short aeration it acquires something like an oakish frame with classic sweet terms - caramel, honey, creamy vanilla - along with some bitter/sour fruits and ashberry and well expressed grain notes (surprising due to its single malt origin).
The taste is again a classic sweet Glenmorangie - honey, toffee, caramel, some citruses. Some spices and ginger notes can be mentioned too.
As it was quoted on one of the websites: “it seems to be there a conflict between the well-aged spirits with the younger ones”, what is probably true.
The finish is nice what is a tradition to Glenmorangie and it little matters whether a whisky was really good or near to average. The aftertaste contains all the hints mentioned above with something that reminds litchee. Not very long and not very short - nice in a word.
