What to expect from your dram of Ealanta…
The nose: a soft toffee and butterscotch aroma, then vanilla and a hint of stewed fruits with a hallmark Glenmorangie top note of menthol.
The palate: leads with candied orange peel, sugar coated almonds and sweet vanilla, wrapped in an unusual nuttiness reminiscent of Brazil nuts in toffee.
The finish: very long with virgin oak derived spices such as clove, ginger and a hint of aniseed.
