Glenmorangie A Midwinter Night's Dram
Single Malt — Highland, Scotland

Tasted on 2/21/21
N- Smoky oak tannins with ripe cherry.
P- Rich creamy mouth feel. Vanilla, buttery caramel with cherry and dark dried fruit.
F- Very dry and astringent. A finish very much like Redbreast 12. Dry like a very dry white wine.
The normal fruit forward Glenmorangie notes are absent here. The painful unsatisfying finish almost makes this pour a hard pass. Almost. The nose and splendid mouth feel rescues this "not available in US" bottle. Lots of people love RB12 so this might be the ideal pour for some. If you can find it at a special import shop or through a vendor that specializes in such, this is a worthwhile bottle to try. A friend of mine ordered it from Europe and I am very glad he shared with me.

@Scott_E I think I have a sample of this somewhere ; I’m guessing going to be vastly different than the HW one.
@PBMichiganWolverine right. When I initially saw this in the feeds, my eyes skipped over the GM part and I was looking to see which Act this was for.
Probably not available here because it’s the same name as High West’s Midwinter
