GLENMORANGIE 12 YEARS THE ACCORD

For a whisky that adores and shines red, this one delivers well; with layers of wine influenced flavours exhibiting complexity and an added dryness on the palate. It’s got savoury, sweet and deep lush nuances with the punch more so on the nose while the flavours on the palate descend into darkness quickly – a bit of a let down. Also while I did enjoy the sherry there wasn’t a lot of other notes that were popping in and out. It had breadth but wasn’t able to follow suite with the depth and hence the rather lacklustre.

I love Glenmorangie and I so loved the Elementa, the middle brother from this particular travel retail range of expressions. For one that loves the sherry, this is well worth the try but for someone who wants a bit of everything, the Accord did let me down with its largely one dimensional profile
