Nose
Distinctive, complex, rich, sweet, slightly winey.
Palate
Cedary. Very nutty indeed. The more raisiny notes of Malaga seem to play hide-and-seek in the background. Creamy. Nutty.
Finish
The characteristic Glenmorangie salt comes through very late.
Comment
Reminiscent of the port finish but slightly gutsier and less sophisticated. I would love to try it, tapas-style, with Manchego, or perhaps Grazelema, cheese.

Nose
Delicious infusion of sweet, perfumed notes of the candy shop dusted with a sprinkling of oak.
Palate
That sweetness is evident early on but soon diminishes as a fruity lustre gives way to a significant build-up of spices.
Finish
Extremely long. Peppery, then fine malt interacts with oak and just a little smoke.
Comment
Eye-catching, complex and downright deliciously unusual.
