First things first..... I know I haven't been blogging for a while now, and I've heard it many a time from my close friends. "What??? You've given up blogging now????" OK OK. For my first blog in months, I've decided to come back to one of the first single malts I've ever tasted. When I first tasted Glenmorangie years ago, all whiskies tasted the same to me..... like battery acid. Now, after a couple of years, and a weekend bachelor party for myself, organized by my best man, I have rediscovered Glenmorangie Original. WOW WOW WOW!!! A truly GREAT Highland malt with tons of character. After a couple years of palate development through experimenting with various whiskies, I realized just how amazing this whiskey really is. It has that certain something about it, very much like Highland Park, where it has a bit of everything going on in such a way that is completely balanced. It's sweet/smokey/floral/spicey all wrapped into a delightful package. Let me take a sip and explain in a little more detail......
Colour: light amber
Nose: Butter Cream/ Cinnamon / Blooming Flowers (yeah I said it and I don't care what you say)
Palate: Earthy/ Woody/ Spicy/ Pepper/ Creamy Vanilla
Finish: Peppery Heat/ Medium Heat
In conclusion, in my eyes, this whisky is definatlely one i will always have in my cabinet.... It is one you'll want to serve to only your best friends, because this is not one to be wasted. At this point, I know what your thinking..."is he ever going to find a whisky he doesn't like?"
