While not explicitly stated, the content is almost entirely Glenmorangie. True to Glenmorangie's style, this is a well-crafted short maturation with strong oak influence. For its aging years, the fruitiness was surprisingly diverse. The attack isn't overly strong, and the rich sweetness and oak nuances that deepen the flavor were well-executed. Compared to official releases, it feels slightly more intense in new cask bitterness but remains smooth and drinkable within acceptable limits. Recently, Westport has been appearing more frequently, but many of them retain the essence of Glenmorangie and left a delicious impression. #Distillery Unknown
