As a Brit who loves Scotch Glenmorangie 10 year old offers consistency, it cheers you up it is a very optimistic dram, there are a lot of very disappointing expensive bottlings out there, Glenmorangie is a beacon of quality and Scottish floral nostalgia, beautiful stuff.
Great review, new subscriber! Enjoying your videos learning about scotch’s. I’m 62 and have been on my journey for three months. I picked up this at the local Walmart 28.00 not a bad pour.
Can't go wrong with Glenmo! Welcome to your journey!
Awesome timing! I bought this bottle Friday for the first time. I think I’m in the 2.5 range too! Think you boys were spot on. Fun to have y’all review one right as I buy it!
Good stuff!
Great review guys! I usually buy a 1.75 liter bottle of Glenmo 10 every year. I prefer it over the Lasanta, but Quinta Ruban is King IMO.
This is the most popular single malt with The Scots yet it’s underrated by all the UA-cam whisky “experts” who are too good for it. Or it’s labeled as a “starter” ridiculous Lol
Mark: I appreciate your comments about different phases in Scotch preferences. That’s what makes Scotch so great, so much variety. I started going heavy into Sherry bombs, then Peated, then High ABV. Now I’m more into balanced expressions (bit of peat, bit of sherry, coastal influence) and lower ABV’s.
Absolutely, the continuous journey is a big part of the fun. I had been on a big ex-bourbon cask strength kick for a long time, and lately find myself gravitating back towards sherry bombs.
It's so funny how we migrate through this journey.... I completely resonate with what you're saying! ~Mark
Where i live we get the 40% abv but i still think that it is a pretty solid whisky for the price and a good introduction to single malts.
Not a bad way to start a single malt flight and progress to give a NOOB a good introduction. Nice review guys and looking forward to more on the horizon.
Bought this bottle as a first entry into scotch after spending several years touring and appreciating Bourbon whiskeys. At first I was very disappointed by the subtle nature, but while watching this review, I really appreciated Mark’s perspective. I can definitely taste the ginger note and I can appreciate the fact that there is a place in the bar for an easy-drinking spirit. I’m going to drink another dram and appreciate the glass for what it is and look forward to exploring scotch as a new journey.
As a primarily bourbon drinker, this whisky is very easy to get into. I taste a lot of the vanillas and caramels that I enjoy out of a bourbon but get some lemon and a bit of honey and peaches. It is a nice way to bridge the categories of spirit.
Very solid Scotch that goes for $30 where I’m at. Sometimes it can be a bit too alcohol forward. Funny how palates works sometimes. I get honey, floral, bit of vanilla, and light spice. Adding a bit of water and 15 minutes improves it. I find it more flavorful and less watery then Glenfiddich 12 and Glenlivet 12.
It's $31 near me. One of the first scotches I tried. I need to revisit it.
I always find myself going back to this one and always have it on hand. It was my entry into scotch. I still enjoy it; especially when I want something gentler and not necessarily get punched in the face by my dram!
Glenmorangie has some unexpected flavors in my opinion. On the nose I get grapefruit but I also get a strong metallic note along with paraffin. I basically get the same notes on the palate but with vanilla and spice. Excellent value.
Politicians could watch your reviews and learn to be respectful of each other and opinions.
Of late, I have been purchasing cask strength whiskies and Mark’s comments about his scotch journey resonates with me.
Thank you all.
Your observations are SPOT ON! ;-) ~Mark
I literally just bought this bottle of whisky this afternoon, its the very first ever whisky i ever bought an tried. I been watching review videos of Glenmorangie 10 Original since this past Summer, I really loved the sounds of all the flavors an scents they were smelling an tasting, it all sounded amazing, So i finally went out an bought a bottle, came home an poured a little bit, all i smelled was ethanol and tasted alcohol burn over my mouth. I really, really hope that i can get used to it and eventually like it, I'm not giving up on it
No shame in adding some water
I think this is a pretty good whisky for it market place and market competition. If you want to jump to an aged stated whisky from the NAS bottom shelf, this is a nice entry point. I think it compares very favorably with Singleton, OP 12, and a little better than Monkey Shoulder. This one is an easier daily sipper by price point and flavor. A little water will open it up and smooth it out for the new scotch drinker. This might be something I put in a whisky carafe. Like Sunday, I would rate this a 2, but it is a good value for an aged stated scotch single malt.
Ahoy! ~Mark
This is a solid Highland scotch IMO. Prob about a 2 for me, it's a totally fine, middle of the road bottle. A pleasant sipper.
Is there a Highland that you prefer more than this?
@@jasonbainter9793 Definitely - many of them. Some of my favorite highland distilleries would be Edradour, Glendronach, Old Pulteney, Clynelish, Glengoyne, and Deanston.
Glad to see you ladds have embraced the Glenmorangie.
Love our Glenmo's.... great people too! ~Mark
Andrew is so right on with this one, agreed with every comment!
Beautiful daily drinker. Loved by us in England
I think this is really good for the price. However, I know prices are regional, but I can get this for 26.99 locally. Compared to Monkey Shoulder for 22.99. I’d rather spend the extra four dollars to get this over Monkey Shoulder.
My gateway whisky!
I tried this, once, and I liked it.
The last time I tasted Glenmorangie 10 I got honey, almond and orange on the palate with a hint of floral (heather).
Loads of honey! Great daily sipper
First, I gotta say... I love that little riddle @Mark 😄
If I'm not mistaken, Shawn was right, the rest of ya'll were wrong 😄... based off the original review.
Don't if anyone else got that?
I just bought a bottle of this & will be trying it for tonight's live show. Crazy, I've had Quinta Ruban 12 & 14...Along with a glass of Signet but never had the original 10yr 😄
Cheers! 🥃😎
Glenmorangie 10 is one of my favorites. Your right it is a little on the sweet side.
Highlander drinks this in the movie! Classic! Cheers
I think is good whisky in the
summer time
I wish I had the 43 abv version in Canada. I much prefer this as a reset your palate scotch to the Glenlivet or Glenfiddich. And if this is truly the base of all glenmorangie whiskies, then why can't they strap a big fat 10 (at least) on every bottle?
Great question for the Ambassador Dan the next time we have him on the show!!! ~Mark
I think that they started using the name The Original in case they needed to use younger whisky than 10 years old. In that case the label and branding would be the same but they only need to take away the 10 year old which i think is parate label on the bottle.
Very interesting. I wonder how the Glenmorangie spirit will taste if exclusively aged in Oloroso Sherry.
Probably like sherry 😂
Now you gotta re-taste the Nectar!
Very fair and dead on reviews. I like this particularly in the summer. It's usually my first early go to (before 5pm.) It's also really great with (don't kill me now) a very thin lemon wedge. (Try it!) This is also a good intro scotch for friends that are not usual scotch drinkers.
Fair enough..... now I want to try it with a lemon wedge!! ~Mark
Just bought 5 bottles at Sam’s @ $18 each. No brainer at that price
Damn, that is a no brainer! ~Mark
Can find that bottle for $28 here.
This is only 40% abv in the UK
Aberfeldy 12 > Glenmorangie 10
Both fantastic and high value
weird how so many reviewers are rereviewing this. $28 here is not bad for it but the Jane Walker 10 L.E. is better at the same price
Interesting.... I have a bottle of the JW 10, but haven't opened it yet!! ~Mark
What happened to Zach?
i see a bottle of Hart Brothers top left......... love Hart brothers great private bottler
I've nabbed a few HBs of late.... I haven't opened either of them, but am super excited about them! ~Mark
@@Scotch4Dummies bought a HBs dalmore11 year with sherry butts, best dalmore iv ever had. leaps above the distillery versions
Glenn Morn Gee
Small point....the flag behind you is upside down.....good review
I wouldn't pay much attention to the colour. E150a is used.
And the name is supposed to rhyme with "orangey".
(I am open to the possibility thta the idiosyncratic pronunciation is an intended joke.)
We butcher names all the time....I guess it just comes with the moniker of being Dummies....hahah! ~Mark
At this price range, there’s nothing that provides this quality. The Original is a dram you can always reach for and be satisfied. I can’t say the same for the other big brands.
Totally agree!
You are saying it wrong
This should be titled, "four grown men don't know how to just sit and have a whisky"
Glenmorangie is a little better than Glen Fiddich and Glen Livet.
You prolly wanted to say Glen Morangie 😁
Glenmorangie is always over-rated.
If 3 out of 4 gave it a 2.5 and you’re the lone individual giving it a 1.5 you’re wrong. It’s a great scotch and that’s why it’s the number one consumed scotch in Scotland.
