A hectic but a merry and wonderful Christmas Eve and day with family and friends that make this time of year special. Now sitting by the fire listening to some Vince Guaraldi Trio (you know the Christmas soundtrack) during this frigid evening to relax with the TRE provided by @Generously_Paul A rich sherry nose with toffee, cocoa, tea. Very fruity with plumbs, raisins and a faint strawberry aroma deep in the back and after given some time to open. Brown sugar and toffee sweet arrival. There is spice as well: cinnamon, white pepper. The sweetness slowly moves into spicy cloves that fades towards the finish. A black peppery finish with some nuttiness with a slight orange bitterness. A nice medium length finish. I have never been a huge fan of Glenmorangie. The general profile, for me, does not excite me (maybe what I would classify as mass-market safe). However, this Duthac was enjoyable. A sweet dessert whisky that’s pleasant. One of the better Glenmorangie’s. [86/100][Tasted: 12/26/17]
