Glenmorangie Extremely Rare 18 Year Old Single Malt. Highlands, Scotland. ABV: 43.00%. Tasted at home, $120 (bottle).
Colour: A light golden hue.
Nose: Floral, sweet hay-like notes.
Palate: Silky smooth entry, oily mouthfeel. Oak and somewhat sweet fruity flavours. Less spice than other Glenmorangies.
Finish: Warmth gradually builds as the flavours start to fade. Medium-long finish.
Comments: A lot smoother than other Glenmorangie expressions, less oaky. I’ve always had a bottle of this kicking around in my collection for the past few years (needless to say, it’s not the same bottle – they don’t last that long!) and for good reason – I really like it. Great balance, both in terms of flavours and also heat. Absolutely no hesitation in ordering another bottle once this one is finished.

I was very lucky to win it in a Tops Spar promotion. Really enjoyed it, very smooth and tasty.
