Picked this guy up for a tasting I hosted recently. Just getting around to reviewing it now. Served neat in a GlenCairn. Nose: Lots of ethanol, vanilla sweetness, caramel and cinnamon. Taste: Vanilla, spiced mulled pears. Typical Glenmorangie creme brûlée & tiramisu. Slight spice: cardamom or allspice. On the first pour of this, there was a good amount of “yeastiness” for lack of a better word. Like the last batch of Czech pilsner home brew that didn’t turn out as I planned. On later tastes, I didn’t get the yeastiness as much but it’s still slightly there. Finish: Vanilla and spice linger for a little while & then fade into yesterday’s cigar. Overall, this grew on me the more I have sipped it. There are levels of complexity here, which is nice considering the NAS. That said, I wish the nose was better & there’s an element of youth here, too, that feels underdeveloped.
