There sure is alcohol on the nose. There's some lemon too along with some yeast and grass. It might be a refreshing nose, but it isn't a very enjoyable one. The palate is really interesting with a big clover honey flavor that is thinned and mixed with a lot of vanilla. It's super floral and so quite tart with a yeasty breast quality similar to brioche. Brioche with candied lemon peel and a bunch of vanilla is definitely the vibe I get. It's interesting, but that's mostly just because it's different. It's a solid enough sipper and I think it's better than. The regular Glenmorangie The Original, but not by a ton. The candied lemon brings in a bit of artificial flavor. It also lacks the complexity and smoothness of Tullibardine 13 Brandy. Yeah, it sure tastes young and kind of too sweet like candy. Like candy mixed with alcohol. It's moderately smooth, but not as smooth as Tullibardine 13 Brandy by a long shot. Something just tastes a bit off - young. It works, but I'm not a fan. The mouthfeel is moderate. It's a 23 to 14. I think 14 is probabaly right and the original is probably a 13. Yeah. I wouldn't say that I'm enjoying drinking this.
