It's flavour is very close to Dalwhinnie 15, slightly sweeter and fresher, but also lacking a tad of the depth.

I did try freezing some and it does get a sirupy mouthfeel, but when it's that cold it loses some of the aroma and complexity.
I won't discourage anyone from trying a small amount, but the flavour is obviously better in the normal 15°C - 18°C range.

Batch 83 - 59,5%

Disregard the districts and imagine how a great scotch whisky tastes.

This is that flavour!

A more elegant Margarita with more depth than the original.

Made with Lunazul Añejo Tequila, Ferrand and a dash of Angostura Orange Bitters

Quite a fitting name given the extreme fruitiness.
Glenmorangie 10's flavour is far more divisive than most others, so this one you'll either love or hate.
I won't rate it as I personally fall in the latter.
It's still easy to see that it has some strong qualities though, they're just not for everyones palate.

This one is seriously underrated by the users and I know why!

Although you can scrape by with a cheap bottle of Blanco tequila, the same can't be said for Reposado and Añejo... The bottom shelf offerings will more often than not destroy the flavour of a cocktail.

At a bare minimum get the ones made of 100% blue agave. Personally I'm fond of Lunazul Tequila which is in the middle tier.

A real hassle to make with all those ingredients in tiny measures, but the end result is great!

Save yourself some time and make it a double, you'll like it anyway 😉

Feels alot like something's missing as is..

Triple the Chartreuse and you can add a whole point to the rating

This is just lovely.
A whisky with the complexity of an expensive brandy
Dalwhinnie 15 is definitely my favourite chill filtered whisky (below 46% abv)

Since all who rated this so far gave it a 5 as opposed to Simons 4...
I have a strong suspicion Simon used a sub par tequila when creating this 😂

Tastes a lot better and more balanced than you'd expect with this amount of peated whisky.
In my experience the more expensive peated whiskies tends to not do so well in cocktails.
So for this, I used "For Peat's sake" which is heavy on the smoke, but fairly neutral otherwise 4,5.
