Picked up in a very practical 4x10cl official taster pack containing this and three other Glenmorianges. More destilleries should do taster packs!
Nose: Sweet, dark fruits, dates most prominently. A slight hint of cognac. Creamy coffee notes.
Palate: Initially dates, which turns slowly into sweet rum raisin (ice cream). The sweetness grows which each zip. All is coated in a lovely taste of almond oil. The oak is there, but is not bitter. Hints of cinnamon.
Finish: The initial finish is (again) sweet almond oil, which then turns into dark chocolate-covered raisins which lingeres. Nice! Some coffey as well.
Overall: Works very well and the more I zip the more I enjoy it. Dark, sweet and warm but without any bitterness (which I get from some sherried whiskes). Dates and almondy notes give character. Being a bit on the generous side I score it 4.0 (but it do deserve it). I much prefer this over their sherry finished version Lasanta (which I tasted but did not write any notes on, but probably would score around 3.0).
