About this bottle

Glenmorangie Dornoch is a limited edition bottling created for Firth Dornoch, an estuary adjacent to the Glenmorangie distillery. A portion of the proceeds from each bottle sale supports the Marine Conservation Society's efforts to protect marine and coastal environments. The whisky is a blend of spirit aged in ex-bourbon barrels and lightly peated whisky aged in ex-Amontillado sherry casks.

Wilhelmina Stoll 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.

Luca Crews 5.0

Strong flavor straight. Adding water definitely improves it, making it very smooth. Excellent with water added.
