Glenmorangie The Original 10 Year
Single Malt — Highlands, Scotland
Reviewed
October 31, 2020
I love Halloween. While I'd typically be decking out my doorway, dressed up and contributing to the candy cause, I (sadly) opted out this year. To enjoy the spirit (haha!) of Halloween, I'm surrounded by candles, spooky pumpkins and Glenmorangie 10 Year. With a festive-coloured label and box, I figured if I can rearrange the name to spell "orange", it's perfect for tonight.
Although I may not be making a meal of chocolate this Halloween, Glenmorangie 10 Year has a sweet nose of honey, toffee, almond and citrus that makes me feel like an adult trick-or-treater. Sips mirror the sniff, with a warming mid-finish transition from orange rind to slightly savory. This single malt is light and bright, compared to what one may envision a Highland Single Malt to be like. Peat lovers, beware. Straightforward and easy to drink neat. 7.5/10
