I guess I'm in the minority but I really don't care for the Glenmorangie 10 yr. I am also relatively new to SM so I know where the OP is coming from.
A year and a half ago I was experienced in only the blends. Then someone turned me on to Macallan 12. Loved it. I was then able to understand what was meant by "smooth", and no longer required ice with my drinks!
From there I've tried:
Balvenie doublewood - also very good, similar to the Macallan as it's sherried and on the sweeter side.
Glenlivet 12 - OK, but a bit boring - nothing really discernible for me
Glenfiddich 18 - very good, along the lines of the Macallan and Balvenie
Glenmorangie 10 - too floral for me
Try several and make your own mind up. It's all subjective. It's apparent that I go more for the sherried varieties and would love to try the Aberlour next. The Glenmorangie 10 for me was too floral tasting.
