Top reviews for Glenmorangie Astar:
— Wow! Love this. Have been waiting a few years to grab a bottle of this. Admit my biases: Glenmorangie is my favorite Scotch brand, I was born in the Ozarks where the particular Ozark Oak for the barrels was grown & harvested, and I grew up in TN 25 mi north of Jack Daniels Distillery (where the barrels were sent to hold TN Whiskey for 4 yrs to soak into the wood for taste before being sent to Scotland to mature the Scotch). But still, wow! It is smooth, has a unique oakiness to it, and a tinge of TN whiskey! Superb sipping whiskey!
— This year's batch is even better than the one from 2012. Smooth for a boozy scotch (over 100 proof), strong vanilla, sweet and spicy. My favorite scotch.
— It is just about perfect!!

Jared,
Very nice! I was expecting a harsh "bite" because of the abv. But, it was really smooth. Vanilla/spice in the beginning, with a nice, almost nutty finish.
Jon,
I really liked this one light, unique and drinkable!
Loren,
Excellent aroma and very smooth.
Kent,
A bit bitter. But good depth and complexity.
Justin,
Found it to be very smooth for alcohol level, especially enjoyed over ice
