This is the first in a series of new travel retail releases from Glenmorangie, and takes its name from the Dornoch Firth next to the distillery. It’s finished in Amontillado Sherry casks, and the nose is aromatic with notes of dried fruits, orange oils, vanilla, baked cinnamon apples, and touches of toffee and almonds. The taste is citrusy, tart, and complex with with orange oils, a hint of mango, toffee, roasted almonds, a hint of marzipan, and a touch of pine smoke. The finish is aromatic and tart with orange, baked apples, and a hint of spices. (December, 2014)
