Tasting Notes

Colour

gold

air Nose

ultra-smooth, creamy, caramelly and certainly not winey. Notes of coffee, milk chocolate, hot brioche, faint smokiness, faint hints of mint, hot praline, slight beefiness... Simple pleasures, certainly well crafted. Quite ‘round’, with nothing sticking out but again, it’s perfect in its own style. I think it’s nicer than the previous version anyway

restaurant Palate

very thick, very creamy, fat and oily, sweet but not cloying at all, all on honey, caramel, brioche, crystallised fruits and candy sugar. The huge sweetness is maybe a bit too much but other than that, balanced is achieved. I wouldn’t call this a lab whisky but again, it’s perfectly well crafted. Not sure it’s Single Malt Scotch Whisky but after all, who cares? (Why not be cynic and blasé too from time to time?) We had the previous Glenmo ‘sherry’ at only 72 points but we’re ready to go as far as 79 points here. Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban (46%, OB, Port finish, 2007)
