Fruitcake and candied orange peel on the nose. Orange juice and stone fruit on the palate, with pear in the background, and a slight bitter note, which is welcome to break up the sweetness. Nothing special, but pleasant, much like the standard 12. The Cognac cask just adds a fresh coat of orange paint. Not sure if it's worth $10 more, but if Glenmorangie can get away with it, then why not?

I feel like Glenlivet 12 is probably fairly priced at $50, along with the other "standard" whiskies. Things like Ardbeg 10 are just steals at the same price :)
This sounds more like a statement about Glenlivet not being worth the money than the cognac finish not being worth the $10 ;)
