Glenmorangie 10

Glenmorangie 10 is the sweet and innocent girl next door. Because she appears to be so mild, it takes an real Gent or Lady to unlock her true nature. She starts off light but as she opens up, she delivers just a bit of zing. You'll often find her on a scotch menu and if a store has any selection at all, she'll be sitting on the shelf waiting for you. Be aware - Glenmorangie has produced sisters with different tastes as a result of the casks chosen for them. Although they are worth exploring in their own right, they aren't the girl next door.
