Tasting Notes

NOSE: The nose is immediately inviting with a balance of rich, fruity notes and a refreshing herbal twist. You’ll find a blend of ripe peaches, apricots, and soft citrus zest, accompanied by subtle floral undertones. A light, grassy note reminiscent of freshly mown hay adds a natural, earthy quality. The aroma evolves with hints of vanilla, toffee, and a delicate, underlying oakiness that promises more on the palate.

TASTE: On the palate, Glenmorangie The Tarlogan delivers a smooth and complex experience. The fruits that were suggested on the nose come forward, particularly the stone fruit flavors of peaches and apricots, alongside a sweet, honeyed malt base. The oak influence is gentle, adding a slight spice to the sweetness, with touches of vanilla and caramel. The whisky is balanced with a refreshing herbal character that echoes the grassy notes found on the nose, as well as hints of mint and a faintly smoky quality that provides an intriguing contrast to the sweeter elements.

FINISH: The finish is long and elegant, with the fruitiness lingering alongside soft, spicy oak. There is a slight warmth from the oak that carries into the aftertaste, complementing the residual sweetness and giving a satisfying, mellow conclusion to the dram.
