Here’s another travel retail exclusive malt that I probably would’ve never had the chance to try if it weren’t for my friend Paul. I’m not exactly a Glenmorangie fan to begin with, so chances are I wouldn’t buy this one even if it was available locally. So, a big thanks again to Paul. This one immediately reminds me of the La Santa core bottle: lots of sherry and chocolate notes from the start. This is from the newly minted Legends Collection- which is just as you guessed- a NAS “series” with at least two more bottles to come. This one is primarily Pedro Ximenez and virgin oak cask and comes in at 43% ABV with coloring added and chill filtration. It’s a pretty golden, amber in the glass and makes oily, long legs when you spin it. The nose is heavy raisins, breakfast syrup, cocoa powder and roasted nuts. There’s a slight, lingering bit of alcohol heat there, too. The palate is brown sugar and toffee that’s rounded out well by wood oak spice and a bite of ginger. The finish is medium-short and pretty sugary, as well. There’s some lingering cinnamon and oak that help clean up after all the sweetness. Overall, I don’t think I like it as much as I initially enjoyed the La Santa bottling. This one seems a lot sweeter and not as well-rounded with regards to mouthfeel. It’s enjoyable, no doubt, I just think this is a tweaked version of the La Santa that’s been renamed and allocated to travel retail. Which, generally speaking, is BS. But maybe that’s just me being bitter that I don’t have easy access to TRE stuff. It’s a solid 3.5-3.75 stars, though. Cheers
