I'm a fan of Glenmorangie, especially their Signet and some of these special bottlings. This one comes in a nice box too, reminiscent of an ice cream parlor. Too bad it doesn't taste like ice cream though. The nose is sweet floral. I really like this aroma. Marshmallows, jelly beans, and coconut. Really good dessert dram. I'm struggling with the palette though. I find it too bourbon-y. Candy corn, vanilla, and oak. It's like having Knob Creek. I'm just not sure I like this. I'm really not a bourbon guy, and this is too much like bourbon. I don't understand why they would want to replicate a bourbon but dress it up like a Scotch? The price point doesn't make sense for that either. I can get a Knob Creek for a fraction of the price. I like the experimentation...just not sure if it makes sense in this case. UPDATE 2/26: Had another dram of this from a freshly opened bottle. My original assessment still stands...I think it's a good experiment, but just not sure why a scotch is trying to be a bourbon. ( Ryan---you'll like this in the SDT sample)

I purchase in bulk. Kidding. In one of my business trips, I bought a sample and a full bottle. So...it takes me forever to finish a full bottle (usually 6 months), but sometimes I'm really curious on how it'll taste...so, I buy a sample to ease my curiousity without bothering to open a bottle that I'm probably not going to finish before something else perks up my curiousity
Nice update, Pranay. How did you end up with another bottle of this from your initial review? You must've secretly liked this one to have a full bottle a whole year later. 😂
