A Deep gold colour promises to be rich and full. The Nose is rich, rounded and sweet with dried fruits and a complex floral fragrance. Initially, the aroma has nutty, caramel (crème brulee) and vanilla overtones followed by hints of walnuts, honeycomb and dates. Complex floral notes emerge with geranium, jasmine and narcissus.With water, deep oak notes are released revealing a balsamic character, softened by vanilla. The hallmark Glenmorangie fruity complex emerges as rich apricots and dates, interwoven with hazelnuts.
The mouthfeel is silky, smooth and rounded with a full flavour. The taste is beautifully balanced between the flavours of honey, malt and flowery scents, followed by Oloroso nuttiness (hazelnuts and walnuts). Dates and figs emerge in the background with a hint of wood smoke. The finish is long and enticing with the sweetness of dried fruit and subtle dryness of Oloroso nuttiness.
