Tasting Notes

Nose

Golden, light and vibrant — green apple, pear, vanilla, honey

Palate

Honeyed malt, lemon, orange zest, marzipan, golden syrup, nutmeg warmth

Finish

Short, sweet, malty — built for the cocktail, not the Glencairn

First Impressions

Glenmorangie X — Bill Lumsden's first cocktail single malt. Bourbon + virgin oak. NAS, 40%.

Tasting

Apple and vanilla nose. Honeyed malt and citrus palate. Short malty finish. Built for mixing.

The Verdict

Glenmorangie X earns a 6.5 — decent inoffensive workhorse at £30. Better as a mixer than a sipper. Made for highballs.
