The Glenmorangie Traditional was launched for duty free in a 2005, in a liter bottle, non chillfiltered and uncut. There are two types of packaging, but that is of little importance. As far as I can tell, it is no longer available. I wonder what the Sixteen Men of Tain (they are more numerous of course; ah, those marketing fellas eh?) have bottled.

The nose is prickly and herbal. I get hay, buttercups, wood shavings and even a touch of peat, albeit quite light. Very alcoholic, though. Cloves and liquorice. It takes a while for the fruit to get to the surface. Apple, white grapes and a slice of mandarin. Hazelnut, caramel and malt. Drying.

On the palate, it turns very fruity. Maraschino cherries, apples and pears. Light hints of citrus. Loads of liquorice and black pepper. Great woodsmoke. Hints of vanilla and a lot of caramel.

The finish is very long and spicy, on hay and grass, but also cereals. The mouth is left dry.

I do not know if this is any traditional Glenmo, but I do know that it is a beauty.
