Is Glenmorangie Original Approachable?
It has a bit of a bite, so non-whiskey drinkers may feel a slight burn on the first sip. It has a clean but quick finish and the heat subsides right away.
Is Glenmorangie Complex?
Glenmorangie Original 10-Year-Old Whiskey is not particularly complex. It has a pleasant citrus flavor with hints of toffee and vanilla, but overall it is fairly one-dimensional. It’s easy to drink and goes down easy which is a plus.

Intially, I get strong citrus flavors – oranges, peaches, and a bit of dried apricot. It then turns with a hint of toffee or caramel with a bit of a vanilla twist.
Is Glenmorangie a go-to whiskey?
Glenmorangie Original 10-Year-Old Whisky is a very easy whiskey to drink. It goes down smoothly but lacks the character I would expect when considering it as a go-to whiskey. This would be a great whiskey to share with friends on a cool summer day. It’s refreshing and light and almost everyone should be able to appreciate and enjoy its flavors.

At the $40 price range, Glenmorangie Original 10-year-old Whiskey is accurately priced to its quality. On the cheaper end of Scotch prices, it offers an experience that is on point with this price point.
