Glenmorangie 10
Highland, 40%
Nose: Vanilla. Floral with fruits. Citrus. Oranges and honey. Hints of toffee.
Colour: Light gold.
Taste: Silky body - in a good way. Lots of citrus. Sweetness. Toffee. Oranges, lemons, fruits. Progressively spicier.
Finish: Medium length. Some spice. A bit woody. Hints of almonds. Pleasent warmth deep down after a few minutes.
Summary: I can see why it is often recommended for beginners. A very solid whisky. Well balanced and with enough complexity to make a beginner discover something new with each dram while not overtaxing. Got me hooked (in a good way)!
Score: 82/100.
