Классический хайлендский солод из бурбоновых бочек — мёд, ваниль, светлые фрукты, элегантный и лёгкий в питье. Хвалят баланс, но почти все считают его слишком сладким и слабоватым по крепости для 19 лет и своей цены.
развернуть подробно
В аромате выдержанное золото и фирменный профиль винокурни: мёд, сахара, ваниль, спелые светлые фрукты (абрикос, персик, яблоко, дыня), выпечка, воск и мягкие пряности; всё гармонично, но без вспышек. Во вкусе — маслянисто-сливочная текстура, ванильно-карамельная сладость на солодовой основе, белый шоколад, покалывающие пряности (имбирь, красный перец) и умеренные дубовые танины ближе к концу. Послевкусие средней длины, сначала пряно-шоколадное с переходом к какао и лёгкому кофе, затем чуть подсушивающее и горьковатое от дуба. Вода раскрывает аромат и укрощает пограничную танинную горчинку. Хвалят за баланс, зрелость, питкость и чистое бочковое исполнение — идеальный неспешный вечерний глоток.
Главное расхождение единодушно: почти все — и опытные, и остальные — считают виски избыточно сладким и слишком слабым при 43%, полагая, что розлив при 46–48% без охлаждённой фильтрации и красителя поднял бы его на несколько баллов. Многие отмечают нехватку глубины и сложности для 19 лет и завышенную цену, сравнивая не в его пользу с Ealanta и 18-летним. Опытные ставят преимущественно 82–88 (одна резкая «не то»), рядовые оценки чуть выше и разбросаннее (73–93), но общая картина согласованная: добротный, безупречный, но непритязательный солод, недобирающий на крепости и амбициях.

A whisky that is so elegant that you don't notice why the glass is already empty again. For me, it's a bit too sweet, and 46-48% alcohol would do it a world of good on the palate.

[September, 2018] If you ever go to Scotland from Europe using the DFDS ferries (what I can recommend, because you can take your own car with you) - do not forget to check the special offers in their duty free shop. They stock a broad variety of fine single malts at very affordable price levels and the special offers (usually buy bottles instead of one) are real bargains these days. This Glenmorangie is a good example: one bottle for 95 Euro or two bottles for 75 Euro each. I could not resist… ...and that was well done! This is a fine and flawless Glenmorangie that shows the best about its signature profile: A superb and balanced bourbon-cask matured spirit that is both elegant and quaffable. Certainly not suited for all thrill-seekers but a perfect dram to enjoy on a warm Indian summer evening in the Scottish highlands. By the way, I think 75 Euro is a fair price for a bottle of such a quality these days (but 120 Euro are way too expensive, according to my taste buds)...

The colour is old gold and the nose offers this delicate signature Glenmorangie profile of honeys, sugars, yellow fruits and spices in a balanced mix. Nothing spectacular about it - just they way you wish a Glenmorangie to be with all the aromas you want to sniff in a relaxed highland setting on a warm summer night... |

The taste is fruity and barley sugary sweet with hints of white chocolate, vanilla, peppers and other spices and some strong but not too bold tannins from the wood. The balance is just about right for my taste buds but the wood should not grow stronger (I know that many modern connoisseurs prefer rather strong woods - but I prefer to drink whisky over chewing oak). Some water releases more aromas in the nose and flavours on the palate and it does a great job to contain the sometimes borderline bitter tannins to an enjoyable level. I like this dram best when reduced to about 35% abv (really!)... |

The initial mouthfeel is warming and nicely coating with a minor bitter-drying feeling from the tannins - depending on whether you are stressed or not it might be a little distracting or just about okay (guess what I am after a fine day in the highlands…). The finish is of medium length and adds more spices (chili, ginger) and more white chocolates to the party with a minor drying finish (yes, it is the oak again). |

Hmm, why this bottling. It looks a bit fresher and fruity like the 18, less sweet. Similar rail. Also good unspectacular dram.

A really very pleasant, mature whisky. But for the price I would have expected a lot more. I still remember the Ealanta a few years ago. 19 years old, White Oak, 46%. The basic data is comparable. But in terms of depth and complexity, it is not at all comparable to this bottling.

At the beginning incredible "fresh", citrus, mint, ginger, sweet spices, candy. Then it gets fruitier, more apples, green fruit, more candy, marzipan, some oranges, more spices, oaky. Finish is long, sweet and fruity. Very well balanced, really nice. ABV does fit perfectly, what a nice dram!

Tasted by the dram at the lovely Glenmorangie House in Cadboll. A classic highland malt from good casks which would be greatly improved by bottling at 46% (by 3 points, I would think.). Good stuff from such a big brand, but I don’t think I’ll ever buy a Glenmorangie below 46% - with the exception of the standard 10 for more utilitarian purposes.

Delightful Glenmorangie with wonderful maturation in the bourbon barrel, far superior to the Glen Grant 18yo so overrated by Jim M. Unfortunately, it has become too expensive. for the tasting details see also notes from hs305 and Achany

43%? Age or not, but at the price it's far too little, even if it's almost sufficient for the taste

So the Glenmorangie distillate and Bourbon or American oak barrels go very well. If I didn't like the 18y Extreme Rare badly, this one goes a step further. Especially with regard to the fruit basket in the nose, the balance and the harmonious taste. A really well made bourbon cask aged Highlander. A perfect companion for a warm summer evening.

The color is a light gold. Really a lot of oily streaks, legs show up on the edge of the glass and whet the appetite for smelling. Yes. Classic Glenmorangie nose. Lots of vanilla, light, sweet cake batter that comes out of the oven while still warm. The relationship with the 10y The Original cannot be denied. Bright, juicy ripe fruits - a real potpourri of them - such as apricots, peaches, green and yellow apples. The flavors of sugar melons and honeydew melons also clearly shine through. Everything is very harmonious and dignified. The 43% alcohol content cannot be felt at all, the alcohol is very well integrated. |

Full-bodied, creamy mouthfeel. What you had in your nose continues seamlessly in your mouth. It begins with a clear, caramel-like, sweet note of vanilla, which is actively supported by the light fruits. Somewhat tingling spice like ginger and red pepper from the barrels as well as hints of milk chocolate are noticeable towards the end, towards the finish. But it is more of a pleasant counterpoint to the previous fruit sweetness and thus ensures a taste balance. |

Towards the finish, the spicy and slightly bitter taste components become stronger. The milk chocolate from the mouth gets a little more cocoa content and turns into dark chocolate or even a small espresso with a hint of cream (in Vienna this is called a Einspänner when the cream, the whipped cream, is stiff). The vanilla, like the fruit, is still present. The finish is medium long. |

Very quiet, very easy drinking. Not what was it expected to be. Could be probably much better if non chill filtered, not colored and bottled at 46%. Can you just release whisky aged 19 years at normal strength, why are young expressions bottled as needed.

Some malt, some nuttiness, bourbon profile. Aroma very subtle but complex. Lost everything when diluted to 40%. |

A whisky that doesn’t overpromise but is quite enjoyable. Overall, it delivers what it sets out to do. However, the complexity falls a bit short.
