Taste note
-
Colour:
Tawny

Nose:
A beautiful full nose of bold sweet red winey and vanilla-toffee notes. Also aromas of: Stone fruits, red berries red plummy apples, fresh raspberry, ripe blueberry. Stewed peaches and plums. After that hints of mint, along with creamy milk chocolate, spices.
-
Palate:
A rich and complex palate with a rich mouthfeel and body. Flavors of: Honey comb; white chocolate; sultana. After more analyzing the flavors on my palate its turns more fruity, with stewed peaches and plumbs coming to the fore. As I chew this whisky, its wood presence comes through, rising up through my nose. Now there’s white pepper, wood spices and cafe au lait. Some delicious rich chocolate flavors with honey driven toffee notes.
-
Finish:
The finish is medium long, with yet more chocolate and orange carrying straight through. Lemon zest gathers along the edges of one’s tongue. Hints of oak esters ready one’s palate for another sip.

Conclusion:
I like this expression and wine finish by Glenmorangie and this Priviate edition. The complex flavors and nose makes me want to study this whisky more and more with every sip. The different and rich flavors that comes to mind makes this a pleasant whisky to drink but also to share with people.
