What some of our whisky enthusiast friends have said about Glenmorangie 18

Quote 1 “Like every Scot, I have seen Glenmorangie every single time I have walked into a pub but like many, I haven’t drunk it since I was a teenager. I went through my “just for beginners” adolescent contempt stage and settled into respectful neglect while searching for more exotic whiskies. In fact, until today, I hadn’t drunk anything from this distillery in at least 10 years, if not 25!

For the last few weeks I have been drinking a bottle of Port Charlotte Ten Years “Heavily Peated”. I am very glad I bought this dram, but I do not find it easy to drink. I treat it with respect and drink it sparingly. Going from that to this 18 year old Glenmorangie is like going from freeform jazz to a 3 minute pop song. One is challenging, the other just makes you feel good. After the first mouthful I had a huge smile on my face and I felt “home”. No, it is not particularly complex. It won’t make you re-evaluate your taste-buds.
It is just lovely, creamy sweetness.”

Quote 2 “Amazing. Never liked whiskey before. it was always to “burny” and rough to drink. Glenmorangie 18 yo taught me what a good single malt should taste like. Since then, nothing else will do.”

Quote 3 “A very floral and fruit smelling surprise.The perfect dram is taste and smelling harmonize. This is so close this harmony as it is possible.”
