This is as generic as Scotch gets. It has a clean flavor with some smoke, wood and a bit of fruit, but nothing too exciting is going on here. This is very much a Speyside Scotch. The Founder's Reserve is more interesting and richly flavored. Glenmorangie The Original is richer and more fun. This is disappointingly bland. Smoke, spice, richness, sweetness, bitterness, tartness, fruit, and floral notes all kind of blend together here. There is a lot happening, but nothing stands out and the flavors are all a tad insipid. Glenmorangie The Original has less balance, but is more interesting because of its stronger notes.
