Glenmorangie The Tayne Single Malt. Highlands, Scotland. ABV: 43%. Tasted in the Barossa Valley with some very good friends after a weekend of wine tasting.
Colour: Filament glow.
Nose: Turkish delight, Juicy Fruit chewing gum, fairy floss and a touch of fresh orange peel. Paulie got some fresh caramel.
Palate: A creamy lemon dessert. Like some lemon sherbet dipped on creamy vanilla ice cream or the fresh creamy filling of a tart.
Finish: More zesty lemon tang and Chinese five spice; slightly salty.
Comments: A travel retail exclusive, the Glenmorangie The Tayne was finished in ex Amontillado sherry casks. It’s an intriguing nose but a little disconnected with the palate – they’re both fine in isolation, but just quite different beasts.
