Glenmorangie Ten Years Old

A couple of years ago I thought I was concentrating too much on Islay malts and should consider spreading my net wider. This Glenmorangie was on offer in the local supermarket so I bought it to try in view of the distillery's fame and reputation. It says a lot that I still have some left so that I can do a tasting for the blog.

It is bottled at 40% with a pale straw colour. The nose is a pleasant floral and honey sweetness. On the palate all I get is that typical mainland butteryness and not a lot else. If you like a straightforward easy malt this is for you, but I must say I prefer something a bit more complex and interesting myself.
