1995 Glenmorangie Grand Vintage Single Malt Whisky 700ml, Scotland

The colour deep auburn undertones, the nose is full-bodied and rich, with hints of creamy popcorn and toffee apples, with nutmeg and toasted bread adding layers, followed by cinnamon and cloves with hints of chocolate. The addition of a few drops of water brings out the characteristic citrus and vanilla of Granger, and brings out the honey and toasted fruit, covered with more milk chocolate. On the palate, the spicey texture provides a cooling effect, kicking off with notes of cloves and toffee apples, bringing out notes of cocoa, mint and lemon sorbet. Citrus aromas linger in the throat, vibrant and sweet, before fading into aromas of cranberry and pear soufflé with hints of oak.
