Glenmorangie 1986 25 Year Old Official Portwood Finish

Glenmorangie GLENMORAY 1986 25yo OB PORTWOOD FINISH 43%
Bottle #グレンマレイ(GLENMORAY)
The impression was a rich sweetness. Glenmorangie GLENMORAY 1986 25yo OB PORTWOOD FINISH 43% The aroma is sweet and heavy, with a concentrated note of plums and orange jam, bitter chocolate and herbs. Upon drinking, it has a viscous mouthfeel with a textured sensation, a strong jam-like sweetness, a subtle tannic note, and a rich, long-lasting finish with intense sweetness. [Good/Very Good] This is a limited release from Glenmorangie, a 25-year-old vintage from 1986 finished in Portwood casks. From the very beginning, there is a strong effect of port with a sweet and rich jam-like nuance. Upon drinking, the sweetness was stronger and more mellow than imagined from the aroma. Clearly a dessert-style malt, it feels somewhat unique as an official release. However, it has depth and was delicious. Although I usually don't prefer very sweet flavors, there are many occasions when you want to drink something like this at home. #Glenmorangie (GLENMORAY)
