Nosing: 
Dark and rich, high intensity. Port wine. Dried fruits. Candied citrus peel. Dried plums. Something a bit herbal, like thyme. With water this opens up a lot with bright toffee and red fruit notes.
Taste:
Intense medium sweet arrival. Lots of dried fruits. Raisins and Dates. Spiciness builds over time. There's a savoury, almost smokey tang to it. I'm pretty sure it's caused by barrel influence though. Oaky wood flavours come through towards the end. With some water, the intensity backs off and dried strawberry shows up on the palate.
Finish:
Very long. Lingering wood spice, coffee, dark chocolate. Nearly gets to bitterness, but not quite. With water added, the slight bitterness in the finish dies back and it finishes more tannic like black tea.
Comment:
I'm not a big fan of the standard Glenmorangie, but this is a real stand out bottle. The nose is as good as I've seen in a port aged malt. Loads of complexity to unpack. On the palate it's intense and interesting and can take a drop of water thanks to sensible proofing. The finish has good staying power and development too. It's been a long time since I felt compelled to amend notes for added water, but this release warrants it as it transforms dramatically. Definitely one to look out for
89/100

Nosing: 
Taste:
Finish: medium finish
Comment: has a chocolate covered cherry type of quality to it. the port finish definitely gives a more "darker" red fruit vibe than you would normally get from a sherried malt, and also more chocolatey smoothness than i've ever had, think Macallan. Something different for fans of sherried casks.

Nosing: Delicious sweet chocolate and raisin in the nose . Makes you think of a rum and raisin chocolate treat
Taste: Port wine arrival developing into nuttines now the rum and raisin chocolate has nuts in it as well as more dark chocolate and also a bit of oak at the back also a hint of herbs
Finish: medium finish, little oakiness and dried fruit
Comment: The colour is quite something, pink/rose/reddish glow. This is very delicious and often puts me in the mood for chocolates.
