Guest Review: Glenmorangie The Original (10 Year)

Huzzah! What have we here? A guest review from my friend Joe Kano! From time to time I solicit my friends to submit reviews of Scotch they have tried for this blog. So here I submit unedited and in full glory, Joe's review of Glenmorangie's The Original - their 10 Year expression:

Cardhu 12 Year

Cardhu 12 Year is a whisky I first had in a tapas bar in Adams Morgan, in the basement bar. It was the only Scotch on the shelf I didn't recognize, and so earned a visit to my mouth. And my impressions were positive: smooth honey, gentle bright fruit, soft finish. 

I did a little reading and discovered Cardhu is apparently mammothly popular in Spain (who knew?) and that it had been off the market for a bit, but has returned recently. Bottled at 40% ABV, which I always find a little thin for my liking.
