Glenmorangie Lasanta, 46% abv

Sweet dry grass with peppery notes on nose; oranges, citrus and sugars on palate;medium finish. Normally I score this higher than a 74, but that is what it tasted like to me on November 20th.

Glenfiddich Pure Malt, 43% abv

This is a 1.125 litre bottle that I have had for a long time. The abv is expressed as 86% US Proof. I was very pleased with the tasting. It was light, a bit humide with fresh fruit aromas on the nose; light, hint of mint, sherry and grasses on palate; well balanced with some spices and a bit of tang on a delicate, dry medium finish.
