The alcohol strength showed a fruity character. Glenmorangie GLENMORAY 1988-2015 27yo JACK WIEBERS WHISKY WORLD 'OLD TRAIN LINE' #1341 44.4% One of 204 bottles, BOURBON CASK The aroma is light and transparent with some estery notes of maturity, slightly watery orange juice, white peach, wheat-like gentle barley character, and a hint of cinnamon. On the palate, it has a smooth mouthfeel with orange peel, some umami from barley, rich sweetness balanced by oak tannins, nuts, and a rich finish. [Good/Very Good] From Jack Wiebers Whisky World's Old Train Line series, this is a Glenmorangie 1988, 27-year-old cask strength release. Bottled in 2015, it arrived in Japan slightly earlier. JWWW bottles often have a slight time lag between bottling and availability in Japan via Eikoen. The 44.4% cask strength showed more estery character than expected for its age. While the aroma and flavor had a slightly watery/light impression, the soft wheat-like barley character with umami and some structure remained. A gentle yet deep Glenmorangie that retained just a hint of depth and body.
