About this bottle

Glenmorangie Dornoch is a limited edition bottling inspired by and created for Firth Dornoch, the estuary right next to the Glenmorangie distillery. A part of the proceeds of each bottle sold goes to the Marine Conservation Society which protects the sea and the shores. The spirit itself is a blend of whisky aged in ex-bourbon barrels and lightly peated whisky aged in ex-Amontillado sherry casks.

SAND 4.0

(Lot 60135, bottled 15.01.2015) Tasted 6 April 2016. Appearance: Light amber / light tea colour. Nose: Not very pungent, rounded, butter caramel (but still rather dry), wood, spices, some fruitcake. Even just a few drops of water seem to literally water down the nose of this whisky. Taste: Fruity, a bit spicy, initially quite dry. Fruitcake, wood tannins. Not very complex. Sweetness arriving in the finish, which is long. With a few drops of water it retains and even increases its wood spiciness and the finish seems less sweet. Overall: Nose and finish are its best features. Add no (or very, very little) water to this one. Overpriced.

GSM 5.0

Strong taste when drunk neat. Definitely add water, opens it up and makes it very smooth. Delicious with water.
