Perhaps I have been too harsh in judging this. I have offered 3 previous tasting notes, and this is actually totally delicious. I think maybe I was judging this by what I thought it would be and not what it actually is. I think for some dumb reason, I was expecting strong elements that come out in the various parts of the cask-finished Glenmorangie. The nose contains walnuts, almonds, rubbing alcohol, coconut, and perhaps a hint of artificial banana. Musty wood as an afterthought to an otherwise very clean spirit. The taste starts with walnuts and cashews and quickly evolves into fudgy dark chocolate followed by a bit of tar and tobacco. I get sugar cookies or snickerdoodles. The nutty flavors return in the finish but are melded with woody notes, walnut and pecan shells. I get a very minty aftertaste- I normally don't like mint in whiskey, but I think that it really works here. The spirit has a pronounced rubbing alcohol taste, but it's actually very pleasant. Wood spice and a bit of a spicy bite that reminds me of cloves. It's moderately creamy with a lingering spicy finish. It's very astringent.
