Just got a bottle of Glenmorangie Tale of Cake in today from Caskers as it sure as hell isn't available locally.

Anxious to give it a taste tomorrow evening.

A proper review here:

I haven’t cracked it yet, but all the reviews love it.

I remember a guy from the office at one Xmas party was a malt aficionado, he went all round Scottish distilleries getting a bottle at each. He brought some little bottles of samples with the names written on them and plonked them on the booze table. Everyone was drinking beer, so I pocketed the lot. There were around a dozen, but I rember liking the one called 'Laprohaig' best, and further 'testing' in bars hasn't changed my mind since.
What amazed me was the difference in colours, from almost clear to a dark brown.

Scotch is an acquired taste but once it gets on you, other whiskeys are less satisfying.

Agree...it actually took me about a year to develop the taste.
How was the Glenmorangie?

Was so tired last night that I didn't even give it a go. Tonight!

So how was the Glenmorangie?

Finishing a bottle of 12 year old Glenlivet myself

Smells just like vanilla cake batter! Not as sweet on the tongue as the nose would lead you to believe. Okay, vanilla, soft moutfeel. Enjoyable and unique.

To be fair, I am a huge lover of malt and I like them all except Talisker - which is rotten.

My favourites are the Jura whiskies but my number one is Ledaig The best they did was an 8 year old but that is no longer available, so the next best is this...


have yet to try the 18YO

So many whiskeys, so little time.
