Single Malt, 12 Year, 46% ABV, $50<\/p><\/div>\n

This is Glenmorangie Original 10 Year Old that is finished for an additional 2 years in Sauternes “barriques.”<\/p>\n

It has an aroma of straw and honey enveloped in a bit of tobacco, lemon drops and ginger. \u00a0I find it to be sweet and malty and sometimes accented with a note of wood. There are also notes of cherry, toffee, grass and pear.<\/p>\n

The taste is tangy and sweet while the finish is peppery and dry. \u00a0Initially, I detect lemon, cherry, orange, honey, toffee and soft straw, then a hint of tobacco and ginger arrive next as a finish of white pepper, leathery oak, vanilla and lemon take over. \u00a0The lemon fades fast from a burst of tangy heat that develops mid-palate. \u00a0After a while, a bitter wood flavor develops in the background while the leather and tangy pepper linger on. \u00a0There’s a lot of sweetness up front, but its thin\u00a0a midst\u00a0the tangy burn that develops quickly. \u00a0A bit of water reveals more pepper and lemon (not what I was hoping for), along with cardboard, bitter white grape and a maltier flavor.<\/p>\n

I’ll have to try their Original 10 Year Old again for comparison, but I think its probably better, which leads me to conclude that the\u00a0Sauternes\u00a0finish is not as good as sherry or port. \u00a0I’ve tasted both of those (La Santa and Quinta Rubin) and both were better than this as I recall.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
