I am a big Glenmorangie fan. And I love extra maturation as well. I believe they do it better than anyone. So what do you guys think? I'm very interested to see where people are going with the changing of times. Please I really would love to know your opinions good or bad.

I think Glenmorangie makes some outstanding whiskies, and Bill Lumsden likely is the best in the business at finishing. It doesn't hurt that he starts with a great spirit that is very agreeable to finishing.
My last full bottle was an Astar, ironically not a finished whisky (but similar in that it displays the amenability of Glenmorangie to positive cask influence).
@Brad69
Glenmorangie is my favorite Scotch distillery. I really like how they run things there.
I was able to procure their Core Range (The Original, Lasanta, Quinta Ruban, and Nectar D'Or) during a sale. Out of those four, I have only had the 10 year old so far. I'm really looking forward to trying the rest.
If money were no object, their other malts would be high on my list (especially the 25 year old).
TOMAR: What is it?
SCOTT: Well, it's, er. (peers at it, sniffs it) It's green.
Glenmorangie is very useful for my purpose, which is stashing up for gifting to important customers. They also have a reasonable range available at the duty free in Singapore airport which is very helpful for me.
Based on the good things I heard about the Quinta Ruban, I have managed to procure both the Quinta Ruban as well as the Lasanta, but have yet to open them. I also have a little stash of Glenmorangie 18 years and the Signet. These are meant to be given away so I am resisting the temptation to open one of the Signet
The Glenmorangie 18 years is impressively packaged yet very reasonably priced, an excellent gift idea and it is no doubt also a very good whisky. The Signet is even more impressively packaged but much more expensive.
The entry duty free range such as the Tayne, the Duthac is a firm favourite for mass gifting i.e. to be drunk at a dinner for the guys. both are very very nicely finished in Amontillado and PX respectively, and very very reasonably priced.
@hwchoy
You must have discipline of steel to stay out of the Signet. It wouldn't stay unopened for long at my house.
@Brad69
Whenever Glenmorangie is mentioned I can't help but think of the dusty liquor shop up the street that has a bottle of 1981 Glenmorangie going for $4499, what a bargain...
Glenmorangie is very accessible, of the high volume "Glen" distilleries that we see on the shelves in Chicago I.e. Glenlivet, Glenfiddich...I prefer Glenmorangie the best, very reasonably priced...if you don't want to break into those 750 ml bottles right away, perhaps invest in the Glenmorangie sampler gift set, you get all of those core bottlings in 200 ml bottles at a reasonable price, sometimes it comes with a whisky glass
@Carlton
there's couple of royal 12-pt stags and a sexy Hedonistic lady standing in the way!
@Brad69 I love glenmorangie! And I also love the Master Distiller Dr Bill Lumsden. I such a talented guy, and try to watch some videos with him, seems like an awesome bloke.
