Суммаризация отзывов
Отзывы о Glenmorangie 13-year-old (cognac finish) расходятся: часть описывает фруктово-коньячный профиль с мёдом, карамелью и ванилью, тогда как другие жалуются на доминирующую терпкую древесность и водянистость.
развернуть подробно
В текстовых отзывах неоднократно описывается фруктово-коньячный характер: упоминаются абрикосы, персики, жёлтые фрукты, виноград, мёд, карамель, ваниль, апельсиновая цедра, шоколад и орехи. Несколько отзывов отмечают, что коньячные бочки дополняют базовый профиль, не заглушая его, и что виски мягкий, округлый и фруктовый, с элегантной коньячной отделкой и средним или средне-долгим финишем. Вместе с тем часть отзывов указывает на терпкое и агрессивное влияние древесины, горькие ноты, водянистость во рту и короткий или слабый финиш; один отзыв прямо называет древесную терпкость резкой и доминирующей, а другой — что виски «пустой». Несколько отзывов называют профиль простым и прямолинейным, другие — гармоничным и достаточно богатым, при этом неоднократно поднимается вопрос цены, которую ряд авторов считает трудно оправданной.

Cognac steam (or essence), malt, caramel, vanilla, lemon and orange skins, so it's Glenmorangie 10 meets Cognac. It's nice in the mouth, but after drinking it, the consistency and flavour quickly dissipate. Also, it isn't terribly complex. It's good, pleasant, easy going, inoffensive, but only worth it only if you really like Cognac and Glenmorangie 10.
Ralfy review 916: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0Wxn2sBZY0 (77/100). "The astringency of the wood is frankly harsh. There's no other word for it. ... The wood influence dominates and continues to dominate aggressively no matter how long you leave it and frankly, I'm not particularly enjoying that. So far, at almost 75 pounds a bottle I feel genuinely, seriously, that I've wasted my money. ... This, in my opinion, is the worst Glenmorangie I have tasted in 20 years."
I always consider post-aging in cognac casks to be quite a difficult matter and, in my opinion, the malt was not necessarily done a favor here either. The fresh and fruity moments still predominate in the smell and taste, but there is a rather tart influence of wood in the finish, which takes away some of the drinkability of the whisky. Pity!

Conclusions. The first thing that impresses me is the excellent coordination of all stages of the tasting. Ultimately, it feels like a unified and harmonious whole. Perfect for relaxation. It doesn't require much effort during the analysis and is overall quite rich and pleasant. Rating: 85.

NOSE Waxy vanilla, nutty malt, graham, cocoa, baking spice and a touch of bubblegum and raisins. Not very deep, but what’s there is warm and inviting. PALATE Cognac, cinnamon-heavy baking spice, malty graham, nuts, cocoa, raisiny fruit and a touch of bubblegum. Richer than the aroma, but feels rather dead mid-palate, like it’s missing something. FINISH Medium -> Raisiny fruit and graham fade to baking spice.
Golden color. Slightly oily.

The release has a recognizable profile with apples, minerals, black pepper and vanilla. The cognac manifests itself with grapes, oranges and shortbread. In taste, the sample goes towards caramel, dark chocolate and red grapes. The finishing barrels here do not clog the profile of the original spirits, but complement it and create a new interpretation.

A very approachable, finely structured Glenmorangie edition with clear fruit finesse. Less heavy than sherry-aged versions, but more elegant and subtly complex.

| Нос | 88 | Elegant and fruit-forward. Apricot, yellow grapes, honey and vanilla. With subtle cognac notes, a touch of oak spice and floral accents. |
| Вкус | 89 | Soft, rounded, and significantly fruitier than classic Lasanta bottlings. Stone fruits, honey, light citrus notes, and creamy vanilla. The cognac finish adds elegance, a touch of grape, and subtle spice. |
| Финиш | 86 | Medium-long, pleasantly warm. Fruity and sweet with vanilla, light oak, and an elegant, slightly dry cognac finish. |
In my opinion this is a delicate dram. Definitely superior to the standard 10 year old bottling, with interesting fruity and also spicy notes. To me the whisky did not only show these criticized bitter notes. Of course there are bitter flavours but they are in a good harmony to fruity, sweet and spicy notes.

| Нос | 86 | Fresh fruits, orange, apples and grapes. Spices, especially vanilla and some citrus zest. Almonds and a hint of cocoa. Caramel and milk chocolate. |
| Вкус | 87 | Wow. Heavy orange and citrusy notes, leather and cocoa in a way of these classic, old flavours. Fruity with grapes, green apples and then cinnamon and vanilla. Bitter notes from the cask. |
| Финиш | 85 | Medium to short with orange zest, bitter notes and some nutty flavours. |
3+9+11+3 = 76 Nose: Light grape (Pumi), yeast dough (Nicos) Palate: Dry sourdough, grapes 3+10+12+5 = 80 Nose: Fruity sweet; Palate: Light fruity sweet, apricot & ripe peach
Mellow, mild, and sweet, this cognac finished Glenmorangie made for a lovely porch sipping whisky. I thought the profile was simple and straightforward, with a coherent set of flavors that fit together well. The influence of the cognac casks did not create any off-notes, maybe a hint of bubblegum on the nose (a common cognac maturation note I do not typically enjoy). It was occasionally a bit prickly— or even hot— on the nose and the palate, an aspect that came through on the back end as most of the sweet fruity flavors faded. While I found this to be a relaxing dram to kick back with on the porch or even to sip on with a few ice cubes, it is not priced like that kind of whisky (currently £73.25 on the Whisky Exchange or $89.99 from Total Wine).

Neck pour. 3rd small dram from glencairn. A more turned up version of the standard 10. Hard to justify the price but also not as bad as the two Tales (of cake and of winter). Closer to the malaga release, but not quite as good as that...while not a "hard" pass given the price, if you really enjoy Glenmorangie and their lineup you might want to give this a spin. More cask influence than the Glenlivet 14 cognac finish. Palate is easily the most enjoyable part and is unique (not experienced with many cognac cask whisky), finish disappoints.

| Нос | 85 | Antiques, leather, orange, vanilla, almost like a cologne, fruitiness but like from a fruit cup if you took out all the fruit and left only the juices and the sweetness. But there is also a more refined sense to this than just "fruity". Dark honey. |
| Вкус | 86 | Very dark grape but dry, not super sweet. Then becomes like a fermented orange/tangerine, very concentrated and tight. Becomes more intense and the oak becomes more present. It's hard to hard to pinpoint exactly what fruit this is. There is a nice combo of citrus/chocolate/floral/fruit thing alongside. |
| Финиш | 82 | light tobacco, vanilla, quite dry. short-medium but intense. |

| Нос | 82 | Very delicate, nutty, malty notes, light honey, a hint of juicy apricots, slightly floral reflections and beautiful oak. Gains floral notes. With water: ground almonds, dried oranges, apricots, a touch of light honey, malt and salt. |
| Вкус | 79 | Surprisingly full, dry oak, some pepper, nuts but also fruity and floral accents. With water: better balanced. Oak, dried fruit, grass, floral tones and overall very brittle. |
| Финиш | 80 | Long, oak, grassy accents, some salt and dried apricot |

I rarely give more points then the base average for original bottlings. In this case even clearly more. There may be various reasons for this. I guess it's also because I got the first dram poured out of the bottle. Immediately after opening. I haven't gotten the woody notes that are heavily criticized. And so the mix of flavors was really nice! Full review in a session of six and a ride in a historic tram: https://keinehalbendrinks.de/2022/06/02/drams-in-der-tram/
Moderate on the nose. Quite watery in the mouth.

Pleasant nose, although the bourbon casks predominate. Rather watery in the mouth, with a strong emphasis on the tart oak. There is a lack of complementary aromatics. Apart from some bitterness and some fruit acidity, the finish is only latent. Overall disappointing
