The 10 + port. Add water and it’s ok.
Edit: Upon further review, this whiskey has fruity, floral, port, citrus and vanilla notes on the nose, is creamy and light on the palate with vanilla, barrel spices, port, citrus and a hint of chocolate, the finish is short and spicy. Still like it better with a bit of water.
Much better when not following the 18 year.
I prefer the 12 years old Quinta Roban but this one is great one as well
Сухофрукты, портвейн и вино в аромате. Средней плотности сладковато-солодовое тело с нотками специй и легкой остротой на финише.

A true (Turkish) delight and much, much more
Well, here we go... Fragrant... Floral almost in a heady way. Whoa, very floral with the port influence. Delicate grape and a little apricot and then a big hit of port itself. Fruity and floral... Boozy plum? Excellent nose like all Glenmorangies. And on the next occasion, Turkish delight! Really!
Spice hit, mint, orange and some Terry's chocolate orange. Very good, really very good. Raisin bread, nutmeg spice and very Christmassy in a literally sweet way. Okay... On we go... PS Also creamy butterscotch.
Cinnamon remains with intervals of spice and little drying. Easily the best of the Glenmorangies I've tried so far... This lasts and lasts, is warming and holds a lovely combo between spice and a buttery creaminess. Truly excellent...
Interesting whisky, matching a fruity port finish with an otherwise light spirit. There are notes of citrus/orange with lighter sweetened berries like a jam and a spike of oak spice coming through. It is a mixture of two very different profiles which makes for an interesting whisky. It really reminds me of a recent madeira matured whisky. The port clearly serves more as a finish rather than a complete maturation, so the glenmorangie remains the prominent theme of the whisky. It did seem like the finish dissipated over time as the bottle was opened for a few months, but overall it is still a good whisky at its price point.

sherry and chocolate, sweet and strong. Very good.
Classic highland
Dried fruits, mostly cherry, honey and grass, also some varnish. Some raisins, earthy like dry dirt, and some tannins.
After some time, it becomes sweeter. More candy, somewhat floral.
Non-citrus fruits, maybe apricot, sweet bubble gum and a tiny bit of peat, nutmeg and leather.
Sweetens after some time, well-spiced apple pie becomes more prominent.
Orange peel and earthy, the nutmeg and peat remain.
Very sweet, rich on the nose. Can taste dark chocolate, dark fruits. Spicy and long lasting velvety finish
.
Darker, not super sweet (way less so than the Glenlivet Caribbean) but still nice
Very nice and complex in the nose and at the finish. The port introduces a very noticeable dark fruitiness. Tasty!
Plum jam, forest fruits and dried raisins, full, sweetness, christmassy, some hints of citrus
Oily, sweet, woody/ oaky at the beginning, nice berry notes, a tad of spice
Wlody oak and a bit dry in the beginning with long lingering dried berries, port wine sweetness

August 22, 2020 - Beautiful colour, "Burnt Amber", using our colour guide within: Delicate sweet nose, a nice oily film; powerful kick in the taste, but a sweetness; then citrus - certainly winey, but not necessarily Port, for me. The finish is long, again winey, zesty, strangely smooth & so pleasant. Save this for your best mates 👍It's a definite must try and relatively good value!
I am going to add a couple drops 💦 next taste!
The nose was fresh & sweet - spirit evident (46%).
Powerful, nothing harsh - nice almost spicy kick. Earthy & woody, citrus orangey, or maybe drier still, grapefruit ?? and a benign sweetness remains.
Long full & sweet & sharp. An Oak wood comes in late - Lots going on - I like it; a lot👍!
Trochę pieprzna o wyrazistym smaku.
very good. heat. smooth. oak. red wine. nice finish. I will buy this if I see it.
Smooth, with some oak, and a light influence of dates on top of the Glenmorangie 10 base taste profile. It's very drinkable but the flavor doesn't spread out with the oil. Instead, it's like a jelly donut with the donut part being replaced with oil. I suspect I would prefer Quinta Ruban 12. Still, it's worth tasting.
Rich and packed with apricot, plum and fruit. Smooth with a touch of heat.

Ein Whisky, der durch sein Finish besonders gut geworden ist.
Er ist der Maßstab für Whiskys mit Portweinfass-Finishes.
Rosinen, Kakao, leichte Honignoten
weich, Süsse, Milchschokolade, Frucht (Aprikose/Mandarine)

a very surprising and complex whisky.
red fruits and port on the nose.
the sweetness of the port comes first. but after that the spices and the rich full flavours of the whisky come through.it turned into a bold but nice dram.
rich finish
Port influence shows on the nose; sweetness coats the mouth; good medium finish

finish: very long peppery and woody, a little dark chocolate in the end
a very, very nice whisky
I was very surprised to find this on the shelf for a little over US$50. I snapped up two bottles and i'm so glad i did. But I was driven more by the surprise of seeing a Glenmorangie offering i had not seen before more than the value price. The nose has a heavy influence of port with added scents of wild berries and tangerines. Taste is smooth and sweet with nutmeg and dark chocolate added to the port wine notes carried over from the nose. Finish is medium to long and slightly tart, probably from the port wine influence. Well done Glenmorangie for finishing off in port casks!
Wild berries, tangerines, grapes, wine.
Smooth and sweet with heavy influence of port wine; slightly fruity with notes of nutmeg and dark chocolate.
Medium to long but not very long. Slightly sour and unusually tart probably from the wine.
Initially surprised at the alcohol forward arrival but once that shock wore off the rest of the experience was absolutely delicious. Beautiful port notes, mouth watering dried fruits. Good complexity and a very enjoyable long finish. I am dreaming of this dram with a nice cigar after a good meal.
