Glenmorangie 12 Year Port Wood Finish Scotch Whisky

[ATLHARP]

OMG!

What a beautiful compliment. I just picked this stuff up an hour ago and I must say it is quite impressive. This is smooth rich and has a beautiful rosy sweetness to end of the flavor. The finish is long and smooth on this stuff. Tonight I am gonna pair it up with a Gurkha I have had aging for about a year now....this is gonna be wonderful!

Below is some info on this Scotch


"Glenmorangie Port Wood Finish

ABV 43.0% Volume 70cl
This whisky has been matured in American white oak casks before being ‘finished’ in a specially selected port pipe. With its deep, rich texture and long aftertaste, it’s perfect for topping off a good meal."

I will report later on the details!

I love scotch !

That seems like one interesting find.

Wood Finish ? Let us know how it taste...

Definately one of my fav Glenmorangie expressions!
I love how it is so soft and smooth, and has nice butterscotch notes. For other wood finished Morangies, regular production ones are Madeira, Sherry and Burgundy. They have done a bevy of Limited Edition cask finishes as well, I have only had the pleasure of the Malaga wood finish of those, and it was as near to heaven in a bottle as you can get. But they exceedingly expensive, and don't think they have ever been released in US.

Enjoy!
Slainte!

Alrighty,

I paired up the Glen. with a nice Romeo & Julieta Hermosa No.2 EL. The pairing was splendid (I'll do a review of the cigar later). The floral notes from the Glen. matched perfectly with the R&J Hermosa. As the cigar burned down I started to get the hint that the Glen. and the Hermosa were made for each other. What an experience!

Tasting notes:

Excellent finish, very smooth, the flavor just caresses your pallet. Rosy hints with a touch of mint sided nicely throughout the smoke, an excellent compliment to an excellent cigar.

I think we have a winner here!

thanks for posting the review! I checked around and saw it on several booze sites, but I'm wondering if I have to order it? Is it common enough that my local liquor stores will have it or do you think I should just bite the bullet and order it online?

Well mine had it and it's a chain (Crown Wine and Spirits) so I believe that it should not be too hard to find. If you can't grab it, here is their link below to find it. The price is about same I payed for it ($50)........not bad for a good scotch!

I'm with you! I just have a hard time buying scotch other than my Macallan's 12 year, I just like it too well for the price, you know? I will give this Glenmorangie a shot though, that port wood finish sounds really good. Thanks again
PS, I just had a glass of Macallans this afternoon with a boli PC and a little Coltrane on the IPOD, doesn't get much better my friend!

Ummm...Ummm.....Good! One of my favorite's.

That's one of my favorite scotches. I also like the Burgundy finish and I've tried one of the limited ones, just can't remember which now (it was not my first of the night) but I hazily remember it being fabulous.

I see all these at the liquor store and I have to admit being curious, but I usually stick with my standards.

I did go to a cigar bar a couple weeks ago and had a taste of the Madeira wood one. It was interesting and had a nice flavor, but when it came time to order another round, I stuck with my Talisker.

Congrats on post #1000!

[ResIpsa]

I've always enjoyed Glenmorangie, will have to try this one

[hairy dawg]

I haven't tried this one yet, but will give it a go. On those special occassions I have had the Balvenie 21 year old Port Wood aged and loved it. Has anyone tried that one too? Maybe this one will be similar for half the price!
