Tasting Notes:

(no water)
Obvisouly high proof. Powerful nose of fresh oak barrels. Reminiscent of bourbon wood but less char. The palate is typical Glenmorangie with mellow pepper and nice orange / citrus-peel notes.
(with water)
The nose opens up with more vanilla as the alcohol subsides with water. The finish is classic glenmorangie pepper.
