At the second tasting, this bottle reveals all its secrets.
A very pleasant nose, with some grass hints announces a very great whisky.
The palate is first s bit surprised by the slightly acid character of this malt, but it appears rapidly that the taste is wonderful, and the high alcohol degree does not hinder at all.
A long finish, developing on the malt gives the whole a specially good character. A very good bottling.
2004Nice floral and fruity hints at the first nosing, and the freshness of cut grass mixed to discrete citrus touches characterize the nose.
The mouth is first marked by citrus fruits (orange) and then developes on malt and spices, then on ripe fruits. Alcohol is present, but doest not hinder the tasting.
The finish is long and quite dry.
2006A good bottle, a traditional Glenmorangie... A character full cask strength. The high alcohol percentage does not spoil the general impression.

Colour: Brite straw, very beautiful tears in the glass, nice and oily.
Nose: Freshly mowed lawn, a very pleasant easy fruitiness, pears, pome (Obstler), sweet clover, a very nice breeze out of a deciduous forest.
Taste: An overwhelming strong enter of the 57,2%, very young indeed and surprising raw and rude (specially if you know the regular Glenmorangies). Strong wood notes, resin, what kind of oak this cask was made of? (They say American Mountain oak, this must have been a very spicy young tree) But what I miss are those pleasant easy fruit notes from the nose. Later there is a very weakl whiff of softer notes like caramel or white sugar. With water there is surprisingly few changed the whisky is still kicking hardly, the sweeter notes unsuccessfully try to balance the hard wooden accents.
Finish: A beautiful crescendo developing from the softer notes to dry wooden notes.
Conc.:. In my book this all is a little one dimensional, square and edgy, but despite and interesting, daring and very expressive dram.

2009The nose is rather discrete and fresh, and some remote hints of cut grass are present.
The palate is much more expressive and complex, from bitter orange to cereal and spices.
A nice spicy finish. A good bottle.
