Glenmorangie X

As others said this is not by any means made to be drank neat. I took a quick dram to try on its own and I’ll not make that mistake again. Trying this in my ginger ale now as a highball and it’s still not very appetizing. It has this strange aftertaste to it that I can’t identify but it’s very off-putting. There was a liquor store going out of business near me and I grabbed this bottle along with a Sagamore Cask Strength, Sagamore Moscatel finish, and a bottle of Schwartzhog all for $85. I think I paid $15 for the Glenmorangie so I at least don’t feel like i threw out my money because I’ll use it as a mixer as it is intended to be. 4/20/22

I’m having this neat so probably doing this wrong. Short taste and a little harsh. Not much else

NOSE Malt, graham, vanilla and citrus with bits of sweet dried fruit, banana and oak. Soft and simple it’s a whisky that’s easy and unassuming, but not bad. PALATE Graham, vanilla frosting, dried apples, bananas, honey and a bit of oak. As it opens a touch of cocoa and nuttiness peeks out, but it’s mostly just dried fruit on graham. FINISH Short -> Malty and fruity fade to a light graham.

Pretty okay, mild finish, a bit sharp, easy nose and palate.
