Mini-bottle that came with the regular Glenmorangie, neat: Sticky sweet bing cherries. The considerable burn in the nose is mellowed out immediately by the sugary liqueur-like sugars. It has a slick, buttery body. There is no smoke at first, and then a little puff of it after the first wave. This is closer to a cognac to your typical Highland Scotch, to me at least. It is a very sweet alternative. Some finished wood and nail polish. At the end, the burn definitely lingers, along with the cherry syrup left behind. The dark amber color is a harbinger of what's to come. Adding a droplet mellows things out considerably, but dilutes it almost naught. The flavors pop, the burn just lessens. The smoke peeks out a bit extra with a drop of water. You must be able to handle the sweetness of a Cognac/Brandy to enjoy this, in my opinion.
