Glenmorangie The Tarlogan

Adds creaminess and Almond Bitterniss compared to the 10-year Old.Good but expensive for what it offers.

A lively, bright whisky, simple and straightforward, easy to drink, smooth, with some downsides - dusty cardboard notes and a slight wateriness, although at the same time it is quite rich.

Honey, caramel, malt, ginger, oak, vanilla, hint of apricots/peaches. No off-notes. Comes across a bit stronger than 43% ABV.

More character than many other recent NAS Glenmorangie

vanilla, coconut, fruits and nuts

Nice whisky with the typical bourbon flavours. Not a high roller but for it's price a good buy to my opinion.

Glenmorangie always a great whisky. This bottle is very nice, very enjoyable. Easy to drink.

Easy to drink, accessible whisky. In the body it starts pretty full but suddenly collapses a little, haven't experienced that very often.

the nose is a roller coaster ride of good and bad it's not for me this is where the Virgin Oak really hits, neeeeee

The color: corn, Slight oil movement in the glass Thick and slow tears

Bottler's notes: "Aroma: Sweet, earthy notes of cream caramel, classic Glenmorangie vanilla and coconut and malt biscuits. Taste: Soft, silky mouthfeel with dessert notes such as vanilla custard and pears. Delicious pineapple and citrus notes. A hint of exquisite ginger followed by long-lasting, recurring notes of white chocolate and almond marzipan. " Yeah, sure. I really tried, but the description is a fairy tale. And for people who are just fans of typical 1st-fill bourbon and virgin oak whiskys, that's nothing. And from treats such as Traditional 100 °, Cellar 13 or Astar from your own home far away.

Fruity but not exceptional, yes a little bit better than Glenmorangie 10. But is there so much special flavors? I think not.

initially 81 points, but a reevaluation boosted it to 82.

Similar to Tomatin Legacy, but creamier, more refined. 81/82.

Very pleasant NAS. Typical Glenmorangie, somewhat young but with good overall balance. A good purchase in Duty-free shops.

Simple whisky without depth, colored and cool filtered which takes away a lot of flavor development, fortunately 43% instead of 40%

That's what an ex-bourbon and virgin oak maturation must be for me. The combination of the toffee-vanilla fudge notes from the ex-bourbon and the particularly fruity-floral aromas of the Virgin Oaks works perfectly well for me in this combination. NAS or not, the Tarlogan is made in my opinion excellent craftsmanship and a regular in my home bar.

1. Delicious but soft sweet vanilla. Summer evening whisky, nice to drink but a bit lacking in character. 2. Pear. Clearly pear in the smell and taste. I love pear. 3. After the Signet. Some sour first taste. After that, however, much softer, subtle and beautiful. Short aftertaste, unremarkable, pear - unmistakable - remains the theme. Nothing wrong with it, tasty, summer evening whisky. But I already said that before.

Pictish Protector Tarlogan is a Pictish protector of the forests surrounding the Tarlogie Springs, the source Glenmorangie still uses today for the production of its single malt. The malt matured in Virgin Oak and Ex-bourbon casks. Fresh, bright, and almost floral nose. Vanilla, coconut, ripe apricots, and banana are the aromas on offer. After a few moments, a generous drop of honey follows, and the malt takes the perfumed turn, fortunately without going over the top. On the tongue, a mild malt unfolds with apricot and vanilla, but on the mid-palate the spices begin to make themselves known and it becomes quite spicy, in a good way. A touch of pepper provides a pleasant warmth, while a soft, chestnut-like bitterness ensures balance. Pleasant. In the finish, the floral element returns particularly strongly – now dangerously close to perfume. The nose and taste are good, but in the finish, as far as I'm concerned, it goes a bit wrong.

Overpriced, nothing special travel retail with marketing speeches about some legend ..

A pleasant surprise. Fresh oak, but not overpowering or bitter. Fresh (northern forest) smell. The usual vanilla and honey and a bit of fresh ginger and oranges in background--some of the classic Glenmorangie characteristics. Overall a pleasant aperitif for summer. Dr. Lumsden wood management on display.

The Legends series tells about the home of the distillery and was created exclusively for travel retail. After The Duthac and The Tayne, Tarlogan is the last edition in the series. Glenmorangie draws its water from the Tarlogie spring, which rises somewhat hidden in a clearing hidden by pine trees.

I think this is a quite nice every day dram, nothing special, but really nice.

For me the weakest whisky from the Legends series. Ex-Bourbon casks and Virgin Oak aren't that earth-shattering. The malt is quite nice, but the price is too high for what is on offer.

Jim Murray has awarded 95 points to the Tarlogan. "As refreshing as an early morning dip in a Scottish pond..."

- a super successful mix of bourbon and virgin oak - nice sweet bourbon storage - once came onto the market for around 80€, at the current 60€ it's definitely worth it

A whisky that walks a tightrope between being delicious and not. It is hard to believe that it has 43.0% alcohol content, but it has a strong boom and a strong taste. However, the aroma, taste, and finish are strong overall, but it feels like the balance is broken. Perhaps due to the influence of virgin oak, the oakiness that gives a bright impression is felt strongly here and there, and it gives a feeling like a long-aged bourbon cask, but it quickly collapses in the finish, leaving a very unique impression. A whisky that leaves a unique impression that is delicious, but certain notes stand out too much, and it seems strong, but at some point it collapses like a 4-drone all-in jug.

Good NAS Highland Single Malt - in the liter bottle for less than 60,00 € = ok!

Nose: Much deeper, darker, old, viscous honey. A lot of it! The wood has done a lot of good work here (preview: which unfortunately has completely disappeared) and makes smelling a pleasure. Powdered sugar with real vanilla is lying on the honey bed and I would like to incorporate the sticky manna immediately, but there is more to come. Toffee, caramel, cotton candy reinforce the impression of a confectionery stall at the fair. Baked bananas, "Apfelkiachla" and a slightly woody impression complete the overall picture. I would describe the malt in terms of nose as light, but at the same time full and really pleasant. Mouth / outlet / Nachschmecken: As previously announced, the rest of the tasting is less enthusiastic. The Scotch Whisky is too simple in the mouth and can be used on its own. A bit of sweetness is complemented by woody bitterness and spice and yes - basically that's it. Unfortunately, the tasting is too complex for me and simply a bit bland. The single malt leaves the palate as a bit of sugar and leaves the woody, bitter oak in the mouth for a short to medium length. Relative: S. Conclusion. Conclusion / points: I was positively surprised. Everything I've read or heard about it so far was not sooo tingling. Yes, I also read Notes, which were positive, but I felt that those impressions were rather in the minority. That's how my nose convinced me here. Deep, dark, sweet and with a sticky impression. Bourbon-like, only milder. Unfortunately, the taste dropped far. I would definitely recommend this scotch to beginners in the world of malt. I actually had a hard time here (as I haven't done for a long time). On the one hand, it doesn't meet my requirements (anymore), but on the other hand, I know exactly that I would have liked this malt a few years ago. Imagine that you come across this first real single malt from JW Red or Black and I know that this would be a revelation. In my assessment, I try to do justice to this conflict between experience, my own aspirations and beginners' perception and try to find a mediocre balance in the awarding of points. I don't know why I'm having a hard time with the malt and not just "driving over it" ... Anyway - I once had a couple of SMWS Glenmorangies in a row tasting and it would fit perfectly. I bet that "The Tarlogan" could blindly be classified as Glenmorangie by many. This could be seen as bland on the one hand, but on the other hand also as a property that gives Glenmorangie an unmistakable recognition value. I am for the latter and see it positively. 83 points (87/81/80)
