(Good Spirits Co. Glasgow – Virtual Premium Whisky Tasting, 19th June 2021).
Nose: Terry’s chocolate orange, cherries and berries
Palate: Oranges, chocolate, Christmas cake, sherry, dates, raisins, sultanas, figs
Finish: Medium finish. More of the intense chocolate, orange and dried fruit. Fig pudding.
This is an intensely sherried dram! Bizarrely clean and crisp for such a sherry bomb! Beautifully balanced, a fantastic dram!
While this whisky is stated as simply being from “A Highland Distillery”, this is almost definitely Glenmorangie. It has the typical Glenmorangie orange notes, but also the drawing on the label appears to be a copy of the famous Glenmorangie distillery building!
Came first out of the six drams, with 50% (8 votes) of the final vote for favourite of the night. 88% of those present said they enjoyed the whisky. This was my vote for favourite of the evening (although extremely close with the Octomore 11.3). I bought a bottle shortly after the tasting.
