I think glenfiddich and glenmorangie are a little cliche, good whiskies but have been somewhat hyped up over the years. Got to be honest, my nose and palate arent great, i try to read up on each whisky i get and see if i can taste what the masters taste but only rarely do. That said, old puteney is sooooo good, its sweet but with a really salty finish, and it only gets a half decent write up by serious reviewers........each to their own i guess.
A friend of mine who knows his whisky told me to warm the glass up first, it brings the flavours out. and it works.
