A nice, fancy Glenmorangie, made using an English Barley called Maris Otter, often used to make craft beers. All the fruitiness from Glenmorangie is here, with an important influence of a yeasty / grassy profile. Bottled at 46%abv, burnished gold color. On the nose, nice aromas with no alcohol note at all. Starts with a clean apple note, cooked apples. Barley, grass, super fresh. Creamy cake. After first sip, i got Toffee, lots of yeast, like a craft beer. Old oranges. It smells like any scottish distillery, because of the yeast and the barley notes. You also find this old cake note, like eating a cake on the last day before it goes bad. On the palate it is delicious. It is better on the palate than on the nose. First sip is all about caramel, honey and then a chilli punch. The second sip was a lot more cereal-like. Raw rice, wheat, barley. Aftertaste is very pleasant. Starts with a great mild smokey note, pepper and salt. Very fancy, very rewarding. Overall this is a great whisky, nice fancy feeling, i believe there are a lot of better whiskies than this one, but you can count on this as a safe bet. I liked it, i won't cherish it, i believe it deserves exactly a 89/100 score and many people will qualify it as a jewel, but there are more interesting things out there.
