Glenmorangie 10 Year Old - Original

Color: bright and sunny.

Nose: light as a feather. Sweet citrus and fresh cut grass.

Body: silky and smooth, almost creamy.

Palate: nutty carrot cake iced in an orange and lemon glaze. Hint of oak and menthol. Very warm in the mouth.

Finish: a short burst of cinnamon, then nothing. Much warmer in the mouth than in the chest.

At $30 a bottle, this Highland malt offers a sweet alternative to the standard introductory Speysides. Very inviting but a little lightweight for the more experienced Scotch-drinker, particularly in the nose and finish.
