Glenmorangie - X
A modern take on Scotch whisky
Glenmorangie X is a distinctive single malt Scotch whisky, designed specifically with cocktail mixing in mind.
Its creation was a collaboration with bartenders, aiming to offer a versatile whisky that can serve as a foundational component in a variety of mixed drinks.
Priced affordably Glenmorangie X presents itself as an accessible option for those looking to explore single malts within the realm of cocktails.
The whisky showcases a profile that is sweet and inviting, with the nose offering a blend of apple, pear, and baking spices. This leads to a palate dominated by honey, vanilla cream, toasted coconut, and marshmallow fluff, emphasizing sweetness over savory notes. The finish introduces a contrast with ginger and dried apple, adding a slight bite that was not initially expected.
Despite its primary designation as a mixer, Glenmorangie X can also be enjoyed neat, providing a simple yet pleasant sipping experience.
However, it's important to note that this whisky might not satisfy those in search of depth and complexity typical of more traditional single malts. Its straightforward and approachable character makes it a good, average whisky, fitting for casual enjoyment rather than detailed analysis.
