Bottle #グレンモーレンジ(GLENMORANGIE)
It feels thicker and more rugged than before. Glenmorangie GLENMORANGIE 10yo OB "TRADITIONAL" 57.1% The aroma is rich, with notes of orange marmalade, faint peach, vanilla, honey, oak, a strong yet refined barley character with a savory richness. Upon drinking, it spreads smoothly with a fragrant and spicy flavor, featuring orange oil, vanilla, and a sweet, thick taste of orange and honey. The rugged, strong barley character and its pronounced umami are balanced by the tannins from oak. The body is thick, leaving a rich aftertaste. 【Good/Very Good】 Glenmorangie 10 Year Old, official cask strength, "Traditional". Similar specifications include past releases like "Native Lowland", while currently, this would be comparable to "Aster". Of course, all these whiskies utilize bourbon casks, so you can find many similar nuances. However, even among similarly bourbon-casked cask strength expressions, the floral and elegant notes like those in Aster are not strongly present here. In exchange, this whisky feels more robust and rugged. The difference between these two can be recognized as the variation before and after aging in so-called designer casks. #Glenmorangie (GLENMORANGIE)
