Glenmorangie Tayne

Single Malt — Highlands, Scotland

Reviewed September 16, 2019 (edited July 14, 2022)
3.0
3.0 out of 5 stars
The final sample I needed from the Glenmorangie travel retail Legends Collection: The Tayne. This bottle pays homage to Spanish sailing ships that transported their wares from the Spanish coast up to Scotland and the U.K. Thanks to my NJ connection, @Richard-ModernDrinking I get to finish this lackluster trilogy off without having to spend another $85-100 to do so. This bottle contains non-age specific juice that was finished in Spanish Amontillado sherry casks. It’s chill filtered, has added color and was bottled at 43% ABV. It’s rich gold in color and makes thin legs without leaving very many drops behind. The nose is ripe raspberries, oranges and dried orchard fruit. There’s a heavy, dry roasted peanut note along with the faintest of oak. The palate starts with more berries and oranges but transitions quickly to cinnamon and paprika spices before a nice, bitter chocolate note rounds things out. It definitely seems much stronger than 43%, but it has to be youthful spirit giving that impression. The finish is long and warm, spicy with a lingering oily sherry note. This is hands down the best aspect of the dram- it just hangs there until you wash it away. Overall, I’m not sure which of the Legends bottles I liked the most. This one lacked any serious complexity, but it was quite palatable- like most Glenmorangie. It seems as though they are never exciting drams- with the exception to the inaugural, Signet bottle. It’s a shame you have to pay $160+ to get to that level with a Glenmorangie, though. This one is a decent, if unremarkable, whisky. 3 stars. Thanks again, Richard. Cheers.

    "This one is a decent, if unremarkable" They really could use this tag line on nearly ever bottle they produce.

    The Signet was the only I liked out of the ones I’ve tried. The first batch of Signet was incredible. Not sure if that quality has kept up

    I quite liked this one but I had a feeling it wouldn't last too well once opened plus I'd be more interested in trying something else pretty quickly. I bought a bottle for pick up on my return but then ended up buying more whiskey and spirits whilst on holiday so exceeded my allowance so going to cancel my order on this one. Still keeping the Redbreast 21 and Port Charlotte 10 year though :-)

    There’s a better option now if you’re passing through duty free: the 19-year-old, which was previously limited to Germany, was on sale in Heathrow when I was there in the summer. If this batch is as good as the sample I tried last year, then it’s worth checking out.
