Decadent Drinks can't reference Glenmorangie, but this is basically a teaspooned Glenmo, distilled in 2003, finished in a First Fill Oloroso Sherry Hogshead before bottling at 21 years and 51.9%. 88.46pts Whiskybase & 87pts Whisky Fun

Producer Description

"This latest bottling of Decadent Drams is a Westport 'blended malt', distilled in 2003, aged for 21 years and bottled at natural cask strength. It started life in a refill hogshead before being finished for over two years in a 1st fill oloroso sherry hogshead. It's juicy, velvety, rich and hyer-sippable. With neither a Giraffe or a teaspoon in sight!"

Westport 21 yo 2003/2025 (53%, Decadent Drams, sherry wood, 228 bottles)  [Four stars]
Colour: amber. Nose: quite a different kettle of fish altogether, here the sherry’s brought along tobacco, cedarwood, chestnut honey, forest floor, mosses, a touch of tar (no sulphur at all, let’s not get carried away) and eventually some modelling clay that rather recalls a distillery located a bit further up the east coast. Also chestnut purée. With water: it drifts back somewhat towards a more classical Glenmorangie profile, with stewed apple and cinnamon. So, it loses in originality but gains in balance. Mouth (neat): rich, rather spicy, even peppery right from the off, in the style of a goulash prepared with honey and candied sugar. We’ll have to ask our Hungarian friends whether such a thing exists. Also some speculoos and… rye bread! With water: we stay in spicy sherry territory, almost mustardy now, with pipe tobacco returning. Harvey’s sauce. Fine bitterness and a touch of cinchona. Finish: long, still spicy. Honey, pepper and mustard, we really must try that in a sauce. Comments: a truly distinctive bottle, one that stays with you, I think. By the way, the giraffe on the label, evoking the distillery’s tall, narrow-necked stills, is indeed Glenmorangie’s mascot. No, Ardbeg did not go with the hippopotamus… SGP:462 – 87 points.
