Glenmorangie 10 The Original Review and Tasting Notes

The Story

Glenmorangie 10 The Original is a well regarded entry level single malt scotch from one of the most highly regarded distilleries.  It also happens to be among the cheaper 10 years that you can find out there.

The distillery was founded in 1843 in the Highland Region and reports having the tallest still in Scotland.  This stills are just shy of 17 feet tall, and the distiller reports that because only the "lightest and purest vapors make it to the top," their whisky is gifted with a smoother elegance.

This distiller is well known for using extra finishing casks after basic maturation and produces well regarded whiskies that have received an additional year or two in port, sherry, and wine casks.  However, The Original does not receive this additional treatment.

Bulleit Bourbon Review and Tasting Notes

The Story 

Remember that time I titled a website Scotch Dreams then proceeded to review mostly bourbons for the next several months?

Yeah.  Me too.

Whoops.

Don't worry.  I promise I'll get back to the scotch soon!

Anyway, here comes another bourbon review.  I've been on a little bit of a bourbon kick lately.  It's my father's favorite, and we've been spending a lot of time together.

Bulleit Bourbon is considered a solid American mid/lower tier bourbon.  It is known for its high rye content which the distiller reports provides it with an enhanced spicy character.
