Glenmorangie Original 10 Year Review

Glenmorangie is one of the "big three" when it comes to global single-malt scotches. While it doesn't sell as much as Glenlivet or Glenfiddich (which can be found in just about every store liquor is sold - including grocery stores and places like CVS) it is still readily available in the vast majority of retailers. The distillery is located in Tain, Ross-shire, Scotland and (fun fact alert!) has the tallest stills in Scotland.

Glenmorangie 10 Year The Original - Tasting Notes

Nose: Honey, malt, sweet oak, lemony citrus and light floral notes
Palate: Very smooth entry, with none of the notes on the nose taking the forefront. Very rich mouthfeel with great balance between sweet, floral, oak and citrus
Finish: Much like the palate, a very smooth finish that shows the malt with fruity-appley highlights. Medium length.

Proof: 86 (43% ABV)
Price: ~$40

Just a very reliable pour. This seems to have a little more balance and diversity than the other more popular glens (Livet & Fiddich) and I'd likely pick it as the favorite and a tri-Glen battle royale. As far as introductory single malts go, this is a great pick. While it isn't overly aggressive with any single characteristic it is just a great whiskey experience from start to finish.

Glenmorangie Original 10 Year Rating: 8.5/10
