Glenmorangie X 40% 700ml
Glenmorangie X is a fab single malt from the legendary distillery in the Highlands which has been designed specifically for mixing! If whisky cocktails are you thing, this expression ought to be perfect for you. It does particularly well with the likes of elderflower cordial, sparkling apple juice, ginger beer, tonic water, cola... There are many possibilities here, and all are delicious! Also, its name makes it sound like it should be wearing a bright yellow costume and calling everyone "bub", and that's wonderful.
NoseHoneyed malt with underlying lemon and apple, plus a touch of nutmeg bringing oaky warmth.
PalateLots of vanilla and apricot notes, with more apple coming along too. A hint of flaked almond later on.
FinishThe honeyed orchard fruit theme continues on the finish, with a pinch of peppercorn
