Glenmorangie sherry wood finish

NOSE Sherry sweetness, earthy malt, leather, dried dark fruit, candy, oak, old bottle effect, copper, cinnamon, and hints of cocoa. A blend of musty/earthy/oaky and fruity/sherry sweetness that harmonizes perfectly. PALATE Sherry sweetness, earthy malt, roasted nuts, leather, dried dark fruit, honeyed graham cracker, candy, oak, old bottle effect, copper, cinnamon, and hints of cocoa. It feels slightly tannic and drying here, but surprisingly, this helps balance the sweetness. FINISH Medium-long, with sherry sweetness, malty graham cracker, brown sugar, oak, and copper fading into a musty earthiness.

This has a pleasant taste. The sherry is noticeable, but not too much, unlike some other sherry-finished scotches I dislike. There's also a subtle hint of smoke.

I cannot enjoy scotch with a sherry finish. My rating is based purely on my personal preference.

I tried the 12-year-old version, and it's very smooth with a subtle sherry flavor.

Fruit notes of pear and peach.
