Glenmorangie Aged 15 Years Single Highland Malt (43% c 2005)

Colour: Gold.

Nose: Curiously farmy, with lots of butter, grain, lentil soup. Very special and highly enjoyable. Quite spicy and nutty, but not the usually kind of dull nutty notes. Rather complex.

Mouth: Quite special, on leather, herbs, parsley, with quite some oak and vanilla. It then gets quite spicy, with a long finish that’s loaded with notes of salted liquorice. Very, very good:
