During a 2 week vacation in Scotland last summer, I picked up a bottle of Glenmorangie10 on our 2nd night. Was a great daily dram in the evenings as we toured the country!!
Glenmorangie 10 saved my scotch drinking life! Let me explain: I had just got into whisky and thought I would try some scotch (strictly American whisky drinking at the time). While at a local grocery store I noticed a scotch on the bottom shelf ON CLEARANCE FOR $7.97! Needless to say it was a real gem!🤣 It was awful, really awful! I thought "scotch is terrible, I don't want this!". Some time went by along with research and I took a chance with a bottle of the Glenmorangie. I'm so glad I did! This will always be one in my collection and one that I start folks off with if they are new to scotch. Great review!
Myself (UK) and my pal (Florida) absolutely love the Glenmorangie 10yr... however we have discovered that we are drinking different drinks since the UK bottle is supplied at 40%, while the US bottle is shipped at 43%. It surely changes the drink entirely. We just can't ever have the bottles side by side to compare. Pity.
The diversity of my whiskey journey is thanks to you and to your videos. It helps me tremendously to be able to see these videos, to judge what I should try. I have been a Bourbon man for a while, but now I am branching out to Irish and Scotch. I first bought small 375 ml Bottles of Glenfiddich 12, and Glenlivet 12. Then I saw this video for Glenmorangie 10, so I bought a 750 ml bottle. My personal choice after trying all 3, is Glenmorangie 10. I like the Glenmorangie 10 better than the other two, and will always keep a bottle of Glenmorangie 10 stocked. My next purchase will be the Glenmorangie La Santa, followed by Aberlour 12. If you would, I would love to see a peated Scotch for beginners video. Thank you Whiskey Dictionary! Slainte!
Never actually been able to have a drink with you, but I actually have this bottle in my bar, thanks to your beginners scotch guide! It was a pleasure to share this dram!
I love Glenmorangie, especially their yearly private releases. The Astar from 2017 I can still find easily on shelves and it is my favorite single malt.
This is the beverage that got me started with Scotch. I still come back to it on occasion, and what I recommend to new Scotch drinkers. Love the citrus notes, vanilla, and general sweetness. Being a bourbon drinker who crazes that smoke and oak flavors, I was amazed at how light Glenmorangie was, and all those subtle flavors became a flavor adventure I have now been exploring for a few years.
Like so many others this was the gateway for me into Scotch. I agree with the flavors you are getting but also I get malt especially when you swish it around well. Would love to get a Nikka from the barrel but since the Whiskey advocate made it there pick of the year good luck finding it. When I watch the video I will have a Nikka Coffey Malt instead. Cheers
Excellent review of the Glenmorangie 10 Original, it was my gateway to Scotch, but to be truthful I though it was like really fine turpentine at the time. Years later, surprised that the aromas and taste were not all about the alcohol, and the honey, vanilla, and citrus notes were in my wheel house. Also the Nikka in the Barrel for your 100th episodes sounds exciting, but fear the hype may drive the price up. Cheers to great drams and reviews!
Just picked up a 1 liter bottle ( 33 ounces ) of this for $48 up here in good old Alberta, looking forward to giving it a try. I'm also going to get a Quinta Ruban as well, have heard nothing but good things about that too. Great video, thanks!
I tried this today. I'm used to bourbon, so coming from those, this felt like peach juice with lemon. Almost like a summer drink. I feel like I could chug this stuff (I won't for obvious reasons!). It wasn't $35 for me though, but $45 (Texas, guessing that has something to do with it). I'm definitely coming back to this one, especially on the summer months.
I literally just bought this bottle of whisky this afternoon, its the very first ever whisky i ever bought an tried. I been watching review videos of Glenmorangie 10 Original since this past Summer, I really loved the sounds of all the flavors an scents they were smelling an tasting, it all sounded amazing, So i finally went out an bought a bottle, came home an poured a little bit, all i smelled was ethanol and tasted alcohol burn over my mouth. I really, really hope that i can get used to it and eventually like it, I'm not giving up on it
Don't give up. There's a term with us whiskey reviewers where we say we drink past the shoulder. (The top curve last the neck) We get a little more used to it, we numb our mouth a bit, we get used to it For you? Put a spoonful of water in it. If you think its too much thats fine, you have a whole bottle to play with! Whiskey is strong but you get used to it
@Jake Boss- You probably got over the jump by now, but in case you haven’t here are my 2 quick tips. When you nose a whiskey, you can breathe normally and just move the glass past your nose slowly as you breathe normally (rather than a big inhale). When ready to sip, swish it around your mouth a ton before drinking. It lowers the proof naturally and gets your mouth ready for that exhale after the sip so it doesn’t hit like a ton of bricks. That should get that ethanol in check! Cheers!
The Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban is a good one to review in the future, especially after the bottle has been open for a few weeks. It's a little tight at first but it's easily my favorite of the core range that they offer. The Allta, Nectar D'or and Lasanta weren't as impressive in my opinion. Cheers
for bourbon/American whiskey most bars now seem to always have at least Woodford Reserve or Knob Creek. if not those two, then Maker's Mark, Bulleit or Wild Turkey. back in 90s and before it was basically would you like Jack Daniels or Jim Beam. and I mean just a regular bar, not a dive or a fancy place. for scotch if the place doesn't have at least JW Black I'd stick with beer. if they have a single malt it will most likely be Glenfiddich or Glenlivet at least from my experience.
2 new things this week that have occurred to me, you're the second. I kind of have came to my favorite distillers and Glenmorangie is 1 the other is Highland Park- But I have not tried the signature bottles of each. Glen 10 obviously and HP12. I will grab them both this weekend- On the Signet, hey, you did good but I did learn a whole lot more about it, at least as much as anyone will ever know about it's creation, which really isn't much LOL! I'm also going to grab another bottle of Classic Laddie from Bruich--- cause it was oh so good :D OH, just saw the Nikka thing- I've emptied 2 bottles of Nkka Pure Malt- so I'm down with it if I can find it. The Pure Malt was obviously in my wheelhouse~ really different.
@@TheWhiskeyDictionary Little follow up - I picked up the HP12 "Viking Honor" - this is the new version of HP12 - Sadly, it's just ok. Little too much rubber glove for me. I also picked up a bottle of Glenmorangie 18 Extremely Rare, Oh boy! grab yourself one of those! .... but back to the HP12. I had seen one of your top 10 beginners vids and I've seen a couple others that included Chivas Regal12 . Just cracked one of those open last night and man, for price point, availability? WOW! I'll take this over a Glenlivet12 or Monkey Shoulder all day long. I'm still to dig into the Glen10 - I mean, there was a 18 RIGHT THERE! and on sale - so I had to.
Hi Bill , Thank you the review m the Glenmorangie 10 does sound like a great affordable Scotch , especially for a single malt !! Nose sounds good , as does the tasting . Your 100th review , wow , looking forward to hearing about Japanese whiskey , I truly don`t know that much about it , but I will !! Take care , be careful with cold and that storm blow`n in , thanks again for the great review , later :) Gary
Where I live it's a 40% ABV, had my first bottle 2 days ago. Still regret having a couple more other bottles that night. Tasted like a light classic bourbon. So personally I'll just have my favorite bourbons like WT101, Maker's Mark or Four Roses instead in my bar, since they are slightly cheaper, but higher ABV and have more flavor.
On sale in PA, 9/19, for $40. First time sipping on this dram. Very fruity, I thought more apple than peach, but every thing else you said is spot on. @43%, the finish is a little spicy and alcohol burn, but not that bad. Thx for the review. 😎
Got the discovery set a few days ago. I have tried the 10 year and I smell taste some of the thins you reference, but not all. Is there a video on tasting techniques? I'm a new scotch drinker, if that isn't obvious. I'd like your take on some Brandies.
I don't have any opinion on brandy. Ive only ever had a couple. As for a tasting guide, I have one for it. Search "whiskey dic tasting" that should find it
Great review! I’m glad I picked this up on recommendation. I’d really like to hear your thoughts on the Glenmorangie Quinta Ruban Port Finish one day. I’m still at the point where I’m trying to figure out if there’s a particular finish I enjoy over others, and I think a comparison on the Glenmorangie original and it’s “children” would indeed be interesting, although I can understand why that might not be practical.
