As expected from Old Mortan, it's a stable quality that appears light but has depth. Glenmorangie GLENMORANGIE 10yo OB 43% Circulated in the 1970s The aroma has a good old character with vanilla, orange marmalade, faint peach, and a rich, matured barley sensation. Upon drinking, it has a soft mouthfeel with orange, peach, and a savory barley sweetness, along with a sweet, rich flavor and a pleasant aftertaste. [Very Good] This Glenmorangie Official 10 Year Old, circulated in the 1970s, offers a good fruity character with notes of orange and peach, accompanied by a savory depth from the barley. While it lacks the clean floral brightness of more recent bottlings, its complexity and robustness were striking. Despite having aged significantly since bottling, it maintains a good old character without being broken down or faded. As mentioned before, this might be due to its bold, unrefined Highland-style character. It was an excellent starter for the day.
