Glenmorangie The Taghta Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Extremely fiery and peppery. Somewhat brutal in advance.

In this way Im at long last getting around to checking on a couple of tests from certain companions Ive made on the Hurtle application. This TRE Glenmorangie was given to me by John by means of @Generously_Paul. The Taghta which is articulated tuh-tah and implies Chosen in Gaelic was an uncommon ish in house mix that was completely publicly supported by the Glenmorangie Container Participation gathering. They picked the flavor profile singular containers and even had an impact in the mark structure. Thus this one is by Glenmorangie fans for Glenmorangie fans. Cool idea. The subsequent mix is golden in shading sleek without delivering numerous legs and was packaged at 46% ABV. Im not secure with chill-filtration or included colorants however Id accept both are at play here. I accept there were 12000 containers made accessible solely to GM Barrel Individuals before letting the rest turn out to the customary market. The nose begins with delicate sherry notes and light citrus orange wedges while being balanced with bread and vanilla after a smidgen of time. The sense of taste features the manzanilla sherry barrels used perfectly: fruity and rich with some waiting light citrus get-up-and-go. The barrel notes additionally become an integral factor rather forcefully and bestow somewhat of a brutal split pepper and cinnamon vibe. Being a NAS it experiences a similar issue as most others: cruelty from energetic soul. It doesnt ruin anything it just shields all the flavors from consolidating and streamlining a piece. That requires some serious energy and most NAS whiskies just aint got time for that. The completion is medium length however has a thicker mouthfeel than I recall from a ton of past Glenmorangie malts Ive had previously so thats an or more. Tragically its followed by more pepper and eventually a saltier drier completion than Id like. Generally speaking the idea is cool. Let the fans pick what theyd like to attempt to make a selective jug for them. The value point is somewhat high particularly for a NAS at $130 and Im not actually the greatest GM fan out there yet Im happy I got the chance to attempt a pour of this one. Ill joyfully give this one 3.5 stars while sending up a little prayer of thanks (and my new companion John on Zoomed) I got the opportunity to test it. Good wishes.
