Glenmorangie 12 Years Old
Glenmorangie is highland malt with a golden color. It has a full, warm and sweet taste, quite different to the more medicine like islay malts like laphorig. You can buy this whiskey with different finishes, meaning that for the last part of the maturing the whiskey is transfered to former wine-casks. Depending on the cask this gives the whiskey not only a different depth of color, but a slightly different taste as well.
Taste:
Madeira Wood Finish: Spicy with a taste of citrus fruit and honey, dry finish
Port Wood Finish: Full and soft, with a taste of citrus fruit.
Sherry Wood Finish: Haven't tried yet
Price: ~$45
Glenmorangie is a very good all around whiskey and many of my non whisky drinking friends enjoyed a glass.
