The 6th release in Glenmorangie's Private Edition has been produced with Maris Otter barley, malted by hand on traditional floor maltings, this limited edition will only be available for a short time.
From the Distillery: "A rich winter variety of barley first introduced in 1965, Maris Otter was bred specifically to meet the demand for a high quality brewing malt and recognized for its ability to impart rich, rustic malty flavours. Now used only by a select few who continue, like Glenmorangie, to uphold an ethos of sacrificing yield for quality by using only the finest ingredients, the result is a whisky celebrating the variety’s renowned taste profile."
Andrew's Tasting Note
Nose: fresh, honeyed and malty with unripened citrus; the malt is the star of the show, you can almost sense the soil through the spirit; waxy with some melon and almond paste, a touch of soft new leather too.
Palate: still very malty, lovely soft earthy tones and toasted oak before slowly developing fruits and honey; there is an oilyness uncharacteristic of Glenmorangie, though it is still light and clean; the base is creamy with more melon, citrus, some delicate floral tones and a chalkyness (from the soil?).
Finish: soft and floral with citrus, cream, melons and lots of slowly fading oily malt.
Comments: this is a very curious malt, I don't think terroir with whisky often, but in this case the malt and its chalky overtones are so dominant; overall a lovely whisky and a really interesting addition to the Private Collection range.
Distillery's Tasting Note
Aroma: Deep earthy, robust aromas of malty, biscuity tones, with a backbone of nut toffee.
Taste: A rich, rustic profile of nut toffee, sweet barley malt, ginger, cinnamon, and dates in molasses complements more familiar Glenmorangie notes of peaches, oranges and smoked pears.
Finish: Tùsail lingers on with a mouth-coating finish.

Elegantly packaged in a cognac like bottle the whisky has been matured in bourbon barrels before finishing in Oloroso sherry casks.
Producer Description
"To create it, we gather the silky, fruity spirit from our giraffe-high stills and let it steep in American oak casks. No less than 15 years later, we transfer a portion into Oloroso sherry casks for three more years. Once 18 years have passed, we reunite them to create its warm balance of sweet, floral lushness. Rich marmalade flavours brush against honey and fig, touches of caramelized orange and far-off campfire smoke. Have a taste, and let your imagination wander to the edge of an autumn afternoon."
$104.99
The whisky begins with a base of the same spirit that goes into Glenmorangie Original, 10 year old whisky matured exclusively in American oak Ex-Bourbon casks. The whisky is then finished for 2 years in Oloroso Sherry casks from Jerez, Spain.
From the Distillery: Lasanta is Gaelic for warmth and passion, a reminder not just of the Spanish provenance of these Oloroso sherry butts, but also a reflection of this expressions lusciously soft texture and deep, enticingly sweet aroma.Non chill-filtered for additional aroma and mouthfeel."
Distiller's Tasting Note:
Aroma: Warm spices mix with smooth chocolate covered raisins, honeycomb and caramel toffee.
Taste: Deliciously sweet sherry flavoured sultanas, orange segments, walnuts and butterscotch combine to create complex warm spices.
Finish: Long and satisfying finish with spiced orange and chocolate covered hazelnuts.

The Glenmorangie 10 Year Old was featured on Day 12 of our 2021 KWM Whisky Calendar
The Glenmorangie Original 10 Year is the distillery's flagship whisky. Matured exclusively in American oak and bottled at 40%.
From the Distiller
"The original expression of our elegant, floral spirit and the real backbone of the Glenmorangie range. A ten-year-old single malt, Glenmorangie Original is produced by marrying the delicate spirit that emerges from Scotland's tallest stills, with first and second fill American white oak casks.
"It is here, maturing for ten long years in a range of ex-bourbon casks such as our famous slow-grown and air-dried 'designer casks' from Missouri, that our raw spirit develops a perfect balance between sweetness and complexity. Resulting in a mature spirit that is soft, mellow and creamy. Perfect for enjoying at any time."
