One of the bottles i bought in the beggining of my whisky adventure was this beautiful looking Glenmorangie Madeira Wood Finish, that seemed old since the day i found it, like 8 years ago. I did my research and this one was a 1990s bottle, finished in the portuguese madeira wine. Bottled at 43%abv, with a lovely chesnut color.
On the nose, it was truly remarkable. Starts with the most accurate red berries note ever. Red fruits, flowers and cherries. Chocolate, impalpable sugar. After a couple of minutes, the acid typical Glenmorangie aroma has appeared. Having a sip, revealed other nice notes, like brownies, glue and maraschino cherries.
On the palate, this one is full of flavor. Super sweet; chocolate, prunes, oranges and tangerines.
Aftertaste follows the fruity / sweet path. Super fruits, prunes, raspberries, hints of salt and red fruits.
Overall, this whisky was really incredible. I have truly enjoyed it; even if the cork almost pulverized when i took it off. This must be the definitive madeira wood finish single malt, close to perfection. A wonderful dram, my score for it is a 94 over 100.
